<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone, <div><br></div><div>I think we should issue the call for travel funds for IGF to our NCUC members.</div><div><br></div><div>ICANN has approved our travel request for IGF, and has approved two travel slots for IGF. I think I once suggested that one will go to Rafik as NCUC chair, as he has submitted the proposals and will be moderating a couple of workshops as well as his role in outreach. We have to issue a call to our members for the other one travel slot. </div><div><br></div><div>I also want to make a suggestion with regards to allocating some NCUC funds for our members to go to IGF. We will have an NCUC booth there, and two workshops and we can use their help for outreach and contribution to workshops and civil society day. </div><div><br></div><div>I suggest allocating 1500 or 2000 USD based on the number of applications we get. We will fund their travel partially ( perhaps mainly flights). </div><div><br></div><div>I have drafted the call for application to be sent to our members as soon as possible because we don't really have much time:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Call for travel support applications for IGF</div><div><br></div><div>This year we have one free travel slot for IGF which is provided by ICANN. This will be a full funding opportunity. We have also decided to allocate 1500 USD of NCUC funds for supporting travel to IGF. This will be a partial funding opportunity. </div><div><br></div><div>We invite you to apply for either the ICANN full funding travel support or NCUC partial funding travel support. In your application, you should indicate:</div><div><br></div><div>Your preference for ICANN full funding or NCUC partial funding</div><div>If partial funding, how much you would need </div><div>If you have been invited to any workshop to speak about NCUC or civil society at ICANN<br></div><div>Your plan to carry out outreach for NCUC at IGF </div><div>If at the moment you are involved with any working groups at ICANN </div><div>Any other contribution you have made to NCUC (commenting on public comments, helping with policy issues etc).</div><div><br></div><div>Please submit your application by 10th October. </div><div><br></div><div>Best </div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Farzaneh</div>
