<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
At least two months prior to each ICANN meeting, the NCUC Executive Committee (EC) will send a call for proposals to the ncuc-discuss list inviting applications.<br>

Applications should address each of the above points and are to be submitted via email to the NCUC Chair. The EC will review the applications and strive to announce its decisions no later than six weeks prior to the meeting in question in order to facilitate

USD $2,000, the applicants will be solely responsible for obtaining any supplementary financing that is needed. If the cost of their travel and accommodation is less than USD $2,000, they may apply the remaining funds to incidental expenses.<o:p></o:p></p>
