Thanks for highlighting the issue.  I have met with the PDWG co-chairs around the \
time of their election, and informed them of travel support arrangements, but I agree \
that the arrangements should be more widely publicised.  We will work on adding \
travel support information to the PDWG web page.  I also agree that this does not \
need to wait for a review of the policy development process.
