[NCUC-EC] Call for small grant for ICANN77 attendance (Draft)

[Ken Herman]

Thanks Benjamin. Appreciate it.

 

So how does this work for expenditure? Do you prepare a proposal for the EC to approve? I recall seeing something like this in the bylaws, but I don’t remember if there is anything about procedures. For transparency’s sake probably we want to have a good record of what is being proposed and that the EC approves. 

 

Thanks again.

 

Ken

I agree with Ken. 

 

We should have cleared criteria, and also receipt submission. And maybe we should make it clear if it is regional or for everyone so as not to confuse it with CROP.

Thanks Benjamin. 

 

I agree with Olga’s questions and strongly urge we use a web form similar to what I put together for the CROP for the applications rather than e-mail messages. I can amend the form tomorrow or Thursday for this purpose.

 

Second, please suggest some criteria for making our decision. We could, for example, encourage newcomers who may have been following discussions but not active yet. This could spur a higher level of engagement. And in that vein, we can assign one of the two EC members officially attending to act as mentors.

 

Finally, how is this going to be settled? I do not think we should just be sending out checks to people. Maybe require submission of a hotel or airline receipt. We will need to make this clear in the announcement. Again, I can amend my CROP announcement to include whatever criteria we decide.

Hi Ben!

 

Thanks for putting this together. I would just add that interested candidates should send a short motivation why they want to attend ICANN77 and how travel support will contribute to their chances to attend the meeting in-person.

 

Best,

Olga

Dear ECs,

Kindly see below the call for a small grant for ICANN77 attendance as discussed at the last EC meeting.

 

What do you think? I hope to send it to the mailing list shortly.

 

Dear NCUC members,

 

The EC would like to award two grants to assist with attendance at ICANN77. Two members will be awarded $500 USD, each, to be used towards travel or accommodations for ICANN77 in Washington, D.C.

 

This is another effort to support NCUC's presence at the ICANN meeting and improve engagement.
Successful applicants would commit to full engagement with NCUC during the meeting and ensure they participate in the readout session.

Active participation on the mailing list and at NCUC virtual meetings is a major consideration.

 

Recipients would be reimbursed for their expenses.

Send your interest to andrea.glandon at icann.org <mailto:andrea.glandon at icann.org>   before May 25.

Kind Regards,
