<div>Hi
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Midnight after another very long day, let’s see if I can send this to the correct mail list…</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the quick replies. We’ve had 3 members plus our Treasurer express the view that an offer of $2,000 would be appropriate under the circumstances, so I’ll add my support to the consensus and, with the clock ticking, call it and notify Niels accordingly.
Hope this will be sufficient to make it possible for him to attend, it’d be good to have him.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bill<br>

<span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We have a request for support to cover a plane trip to LA from Niels at Article 19. As you know, Niels and his colleague Gabrielle have been quite active since joining NCUC a few months back, having taken the lead
on drafting a couple NCSG policy statements including most recently the response to the Council of Europe human rights paper. There will be a number of follow-up HR discussions in LA, including in the NCUC and NCSG constituency day meetings, a GAC meeting,
and (if meeting staff can accommodate with space) a proposed cross-community meeting. As such, I’d think it’d be good for our efforts if Niels could be there, and as we discussed in Istanbul, while it’s too late to do the whole formalized application process,
we could consider offering ad hoc support as we have in the past. </span></div>

<span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Problem is, at this late date, prices are high, plus he’s looking for a funky itinerary, coming from Sao Paulo to LA and then back home to Amsterdam. He’s also proposing to leave a tad early, on the Thursday, so
missing the meetings on accountability, IANA, and the Public Forum. 1,814.30 GBP = $2,935.33 USD, a thousand more than we are offering as of the Marrakech meeting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">So we have 4 options: say 1) sorry no; 2) yes ok; 3) ok but a bit less than asked, like $2,500; or 4) $2,000 as we announced. In the latter two, ask if A19 can’t pick up the difference (in addition to his hotel
and other costs). We could of course ask that the standard requirements we set out be met, e.g. participating in all activities, writing a blog about what happened at the meeting of relevance to NCUC, etc.</span></div>
