<div>Hi Olga, all-<br></div><div><br></div><div>Please note that the budget requests being accepted now are for the fiscal year 2019 (which I believe runs 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019). So we could not submit a proposal for this year's EuroDIG in Georgia in June, but we could submit one for the EuroDIG taking place next year. Over the years, the EuroDIG Secretariat has been extraordinarily generous in supporting the travel of many community members, so for those who are in the region, I would suggest checking in with Sandra and her team to see if there might be a way for you to get to Tbilisi! I believe there will be a call for travel support in early March.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Good luck and kind regards,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Ayden <br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: Re: [NCUC-DISCUSS] Additional Budget Requests - deadline 20jan<br></div><div>Local Time: 18 January 2018 7:20 PM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 18 January 2018 19:20<br></div><div>From: olga_kyryliuk@ukr.net<br></div><div>To: Renata Aquino Ribeiro <raquino@gmail.com><br></div><div>NCUC-discuss <ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org><br></div><div><br></div><span class="xfm_00949475"><div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt">Hi Renata and All,</span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt"></span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt">In addition to what Ayden has suggested as to the participation in events we can also include:</span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt"></span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt">- request to cover costs for 3 NCUC members to attend IFF in 2019 (Spain) and EuroDIG in June 2018 (Georgia), subject to delivering outreach activities over there.</span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt"></span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt">As the community is growing and if we want to have active and meaningful participation from the newcomers, I believe it would also be beneficial to elaborate separate training course providing step-by-step instructions as to how to start engagement with working groups, where to find these WG, how to follow, how many is reasonable to contribute to, etc.</span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt"></span></span><br></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family:Arial"><span class="size" style="font-size:10pt">I also find very useful the information materials that have been prepared by the onboarding program team.

It's great to see this brainstorm of ideas.
I hope we keep them coming.
Even if the idea was rejected or isn't perfect, we can improve our
request for another year.
I'm still rounding up documents and more info to help us build these
ABRs and will share soon
Best
Renata
