Both have been noted on the list in the past, and of course any members interested in this level of engagement can look at the EC archive and see this discussed prior to each meeting, but I’d certainly be happy to restate it on the members list and website. We’ve talked off and on over the past couple years on the EC about spelling out the basic policy in a couple sentences (support possible for people who are actively engaged in NCUC/SG work and need to be at a particular meeting, absent other compelling needs the covered slots default to elected reps on the EC or NCSG PC, etc.) and various EC members have offered to write this down, but it didn’t happen and I forgot to add it to my "follow up with pestering list emails” list or just do it myself. I’d be happy to have us do it, although at the moment I am just off a plane and totally slammed with getting this e-book organized for release in Istanbul, NM Initiative, IGF workshops, MAG, etc etc. so not keen to add tasks for the next days. Also, insofar as LA covered travel support is already allocated and we have a reasonable piggy bank request from Stephanie, it’s unlikely we’d be acting on an "y’all come" CFP for LA. Hence my preference would be to return and deal with this after IGF with an eye to future meeting cycles. If others are really itching to act faster, please take the lead.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, as I’ve mentioned here this year, the previous year’s EC also had a discussion about establishing a standard policy of making available a set amount of funding for open calls on the piggy bank, but didn’t act. So if people agree we could fold that into the language that would be posted. Don’t have time to dig through the archive now but believe we talked about saying we could spend up to $5,000 per meeting if there are applications that meet the criteria. Up to $15,000 per year ought to be sustainable with >$70k in the bank account, assuming future chairs and ECs do the work of chasing down annual contributions.</div><div><br></div><div>Would people support that?</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking of which, it would be good to hear</div><div><br></div><div>*From Milton whether PRI has deposited the $15,000 contribution I applied for</div><div><br></div><div>*From Carlos if there is news from <a href="http://CGI.br">CGI.br</a> on their contribution, which he volunteered to take over the begging for.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Bill<br>
