It happened e-only.
Anyway, commissioners do not get their travel expenses reimbursed by the ICZN (I do not know a single case). We are supposed to have our own travel money.

So, how did, for example, the recent vote happen for e-only publication? Did each commissioner pay their own way to London and stay at backpackers??
