• Compliance: The Chair will solicit and forward to staff lists of concerns about Compliance in a supplemental report.
• Language, Translation, and Interpretation: The Chair will solicit and forward to staff lists of concerns about Compliance.
• Travel Support: The Chair will continue to be proactive in monitoring the effectiveness and response of ICANN Travel Constituency. ICANN TC has been helpful in resolving some issues. At-Large understands that coordinating travel for an ICANN meeting is a complex endeavor. In order address problems quickly and provide useful feedback, the Chair has been accepting and forwarding all travel related complaints. Most individual issues have been resolved. However, one item is of continuing concern, namely shuttles to and from overflow hotels. The Chair was not aware there were no shuttles from non-venue hotels and assumed their would because shuttles were provided at other ICANN meetings. This was of specific concern for At-Large members who were required to appear at 7AM meetings Monday - Thursday. At-Large members had to take taxi cabs which could have cost up to $156CAN for the whole week, a not insignificant portion of the Per Diem. We are also concerned about compliance with disability standards whereas members with mobility issues may be better served by shuttle buses as opposed to expectations that they seek public transportation. Questions concerning the lack of shuttle buses have been forwarded to At-Large Staff and noted in the October Monthly Call Action Items. Another issue being examined is wire transfer fees for directly deposited Per Diems. The policy concerning wire transfer fees is not clear, some believe ICANN should bee paying the transfer feed on these deposits. This is also an action item from October's call.
