Right. Emergency mode rarely makes us take the best
decisions. However, in order to get the number closer in line with the
forseen numbers, we can assume no travel sponsorship will be
paid. That will mean we have to budget for IIRC CHF30K less - And ~15%
of our current budget is no small feat. If by a pertinent point (say,
February or March) we have clear indication we will meet the ~170K, we
can start the travel sponsorship process.

Sigh... Ok, sorry for coming up with quick phrases - But what I meant
is that right now, AFAIK, we are only looking at options in
Switzerland. And I don't expect this to change this late.
