 Hi Steve and the team,
I did not submit my name for travel support but  I have a suggestion. 

Future Travel Support nominations should be either held live or the session be recorded, with the possibility of explaining the process during the session.
I trust this would helps clear the doubts on the table for up-coming nominations.

Hi Harish, 

  Thanks for your email. I see two questions and let me respond to them separately.

  Regarding your concern that the random selection always select the alpha A first,  I have double-checked the result using two implementations of RFC 3797 and both yields the same responses. I have also checked and confirmed that the randomness we use follows the guidelines laid out in section 3 of RFC3797. Based on these, I concluded that we have followed RFC 3797. I have also checked with other communities that use RFC3797 and did not find evidence that it always selects the alpha A first. Based on these, and unless proven otherwise, I conclude the selection is valid.

  Regarding your question “I hope travel support should be even and given to member who never received it and based upon some rationale rather than a lottery,” this selection has been done as outlined in the IETF Supported Travelers Funding Guidelines attached. The guidelines do not preclude an RSSAC Caucus member from being considered for travel support even if they received travel support in the past.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. 

Best

Steve
