<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">My opinion is that we must support at least one person from Africa, more if possible. Oddly, it is more expense however to move people within Africa than from

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">My impression is that Tatiana, Ayden and Renata are all very active and need to be encouraged and rewarded with some support, but do not require the full $2000.
In Renata’s case, if indeed she can’t come if we don’t provide the full, requested $938, then I would support exceeding the budget by $438 to make it possible. Because she seems to be someone who will become a very strong contributor.</span></p>

the statements and activity of James and Sonigitu. So I went with them. If $1000 is not enough to bring James Gitau to the meeting, we could increase the allocations to Renata and Sonigitu as needed.</span></p>

<p>Hi all,</p>

</div>
<div>
<p>Please find attached all the travel support requests. I have also listed them in an excel sheet. </p>

<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>I support Tatiana Tropina, Renata Ribeiro, and <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Ayden Feěrdeline<b>.
</b>Tatiana is already active in NCUC and Renata and Ayden are determined to become more active. If we agree to go with these individuals, then I think we still have funds to support one more person (perhaps partially). I think that person should be from Africa.
I am not familiar with other candidates from Africa and their work in NCUC but I know Benjamin from Nigeria, he was an ICANN fellow with me.</span></p>
