You can find the NCUC request here: <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/croppfy17/NCUC+Outreach+Strategic+Plan" target="_blank">https://community.icann.<wbr>org/display/croppfy17/NCUC+<wbr>Outreach+Strategic+Plan</a></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The outreach event provides funding to host or co-host an event, and possibly supporting a very limited number of travelers to the event. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The current EC decided that the event should be held prior to ICANN meeting in Johannesburg. Nothing has been arranged yet and we will discuss at EC how we will go forward with arranging the event. The budget for this event is 7500 USD. Please note that we cannot fund any other event with this budget. We can only spend it to organize a successful event in Johannesburg prior to ICANN meeting. If you would like to help organizing this event in Johannesburg, please let me know.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">As to the two travel support, the former EC allocated one travel slot to Aarti for APRIGF. One travel slot is left. we discussed during EC meeting that RightsCon might be appropriate. We still don't know if NCUC proposal is accepted but RightsCon is an option. Other events can be suggested too and if we receive suggestions that we believe that is more beneficial for outreach than RightsCon, we will get back to you. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The timeline of submitting requests is very important. The travel support request has to be submitted to us at least 2 months before the event. If you would like to suggest an event please consider this timeline. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Best regards, </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><div class="m_-3984471949068432036gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Farzaneh</font></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Best regards, </div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div class="m_-3984471949068432036gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Farzaneh </font></div></div></div></div>
