ICANN Travel Support Policy

Open: 3 March 08
Closed: 17 April 08
Extended to
24 April 08

Explanation: Explanation: ICANN is looking to create a documented, consistent policy that makes it clear when, for whom, and how ICANN will provide travel support for the wide range of volunteers who make ICANN’s community-based work possible. As ICANN becomes a more mature institution, it is important that we determine the proper approach to participation and travel support, and determine what is sustainable.

During a presentation on this topic at the ICANN meeting in Delhi, a commitment was made to host an online forum to collect further input.
