NB that if selected, I could get NomCom travel funding to Dublin, freeing up the Euralo slot I was going to travel on. In this case I could ask them if Stefania could take over that slot. If that works, then we would have another NCUC slot available.]</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. Leadership Training @ Dublin: Applications due 21 Aug, decision must be notified to ICANN 31 Aug</div><div class="">*Two candidates, Remmy and Hanane <span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Boujemi.</span></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">[My view: as outlined in her message I forwarded here on 5 Aug, Hanane is the Senior Manager of Hivos’ MENA region programme on Internet Governance. She has been involved with civil society for a long time and I think it would be great to get Hivos, a substantial player in that space, involved in NCUC. Right now the only connection is her personal membership. I’d like to see if we could entice them into an organizational membership. Given that nobody on the EC has expressed interest in the opportunity, unless there are stronger apps in the next few days I would support her doing the program. It would be good to hear other’s views.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3. NCUC Travel Support to Dublin: Applications due 28 August.</div><div class="">*I’ve had one inquiry, but from a previous recipient, but not a formal app yet.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">[A priori, I’d think it would be preferable to spread the opportunities around if we get apps from others who are now or are credibly likely to become engaged in the work.]</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">4. IGF: I’ve just heard from staff, they want names very soon, which makes sense as the Brazil travel will be complicated.</div><div class="">*As described in March, per the past few years we submitted one NCSG workshop and a couple NCUC, and all were highly rated and approved by the MAG and hence funded. Previously I traveled on NCSG slots but this time it will be Rafik, Robin and maybe an NPOC person. So I will travel this time on one of the two NCUC slots. That leaves one to fill. Normally we would use these to get people to the meeting who are involved in the NCUC panels I’ve organized unless they have other funding possibilities. We have Stefania and Jia He as rapporteurs/remote participation coordinator on the two sessions, so they’d be the first choices. I am trying to find out from Jia if she can get funded by the Chinese. Stefania it would be good to know your situation. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
