To: Community members requesting
information on Per Diems Cc: Those interested in ICANN’s travel
program (please forward if I missed anyone) Individual notifications will go out to
individual travelers, but I promised to many of you an update by today on
Sydney per diems to many of you, and.….here it is…. Special thanks to all of the community
travelers for working with our ICANN travel support team to ensure that your
trip to the ICANN Sydney meeting is as productive as possible. We
believe that most rooms have been reserved and most air travel arrangements
have been completed as well. Now, the key remaining action item is to
process payments for meals, ground transportation and incidental
expenses. For most of our supported travelers this means, per diem
payments. We expect most per diem payments to be wire
transferred or checks sent by close of business tomorrow in accordance with the
specific requirements provided by the individual traveler, and calculated based
upon the per diem guidelines (e.g., $95/ day x approved days for
support). Each traveler who receives a payment will also receive an
email notification. If you do not receive your payment after
being notified by email (after a reasonable transit time of say, 5 business
days), please contact us at ICANN travel, so that we can put a tracer for your
payment. For those travelers who either cannot
receive wire transfers or who have not provided proper payment detail
information by our deadlines, will be eligible to receive a cash payment at the
ICANN Sydney meeting. Details of the distribution times and procedures
will be sent to those travelers individually. For those travelers who have other payment
arrangements (such as those who receive payments after the ICANN meeting) will
be handled accordingly. If you have any specific question about
your travel situation, please continue to use our hotline: Constituency-Travel@xxxxxxxxx.
