Text

Paul Levins advised that this is a proposal for the Board to agree to Cairo as the host city for the meeting in Africa and the 2008 Annual Meeting, and a request to approve the budget, which was also reviewed by the Board Finance Committee. Levins noted that the proposed budget is $2.03m.

Raimundo Beca explained that he abstained from agreeing to the budget in the Board Finance Committee not because he disagreed with the budget but because he wanted to send a strong sign to the community that he does not believe that there should be an At-Large summit in Cairo.

The Chair clarified that the ALAC world summit was not part of this Cairo Meetings Budget. Raimundo Beca said he understood that but believed that if it were included, it would have made it extremely high and wished to make a record on that issue. Doug Brent advised that the board would be considering budget for a proposed At-Large Summit and travel for different communities for the 2008-09 ICANN Budget.

Steve Goldstein noted that airlines are likely to increase costs over time so as much as possible steps should be taken to get airline reservations done early.
