context
ICANN, founded in 1998, was created as a not-for-profit corporation to manage DNS policy and technology with global participation, as part of a commitment by the US government. Each ICANN public meeting is attended by over 300 community members, and ICANN provides significant resources to support the travel of these members.
The ICANN Organization Travel Support Team is committed to ensuring that all supported travelers benefit from fair, consistent and cost-effective implementation of travel support with administrative efficiency. To ensure that these objectives are met, the implementation of Zoho applications becomes necessary.
