    Re: ALAC Topic no. 3:

    Firstly, it is the ICANN Grant Program (not ICANN Org grant program) for which ICANN org had been instructed to produce a preliminary design and implementation plan.  

    Secondly, I thought the intent for the Grant Program is clear – which are CCWG-AP Recommendation #3 and Recommendation #11 subject always to it being consistent with ICANN's mission.

    Perhaps the question could be along the lines of:

    • Did the ICANN Board provide ICANN Org with further input or direction for the program design beyond what was contained in the Board's action scorecard? If yes, what were those?
    • In declining to adopt Annexes C or D of the CCWG-AP Final Report, does the Board see a wider range of proposals that may qualify for a grant? What might an ideal proposal look like?  (assuming that the Board is the ultimate decision-maker on approving/rejecting proposals)


    Re: Board Topic 1:

    • Would the Board support or lead a call for public interest consideration to be always included within any policy-development process?
    • Would the Board consider instructing ICANN Org to allow for one extra day of approved travel and accommodation for ICANN meetings to those supported travelers whose travel time from their original departure location to the ICANN meeting location exceeds 8 hours?
