<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div><br></div><div>Two clarification questions: </div><div>-Does Wisdom want to be a mentor or a mentee? It was not clear to me. </div><div>-What does IFF stand for? (Sorry, I'm always learning new acronyms) </div><div><br></div><div>Here are my selections with funding amounts so far:</div><div><br></div><div>Aarti Bhavana- Mentor- $2000</div><div>I think that Aarti's view and approach is exactly what we are looking for in a mentor. </div><div><br></div><div>Grace Mutung'u- Mentee- $2000</div><div>Grace has a good background that will enable a successful mentee experience.</div><div><br></div><div>For both of these people what stood out to me was their budget breakdown. This demonstrates that they are serious about their attendance. I think only funding two people for the first year will allow us to guarantee that this initiative is successful. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Anna Loup</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 9:02 AM, Renata Aquino Ribeiro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raquino@gmail.com" target="_blank">raquino@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hi<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Agree with bringing in the greatest number possible</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Very important to bring IFF folks.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I will write more soon.</div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">Em 09/01/2017 19:33, "Tatiana Tropina" <<a href="mailto:tatiana.tropina@gmail.com" target="_blank">tatiana.tropina@gmail.com</a>> escreveu:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br><div>I went through the applications. There are three submissions from newcomers that looked good to me: Louise, Grace and Ming. </div><div>Then... It dawned on me that we have a very unique situation, when due to the fact that two of those three newcomers would be in Valencia, we can bring three people from regions: Latin America, Africa and Asia-Pacific - normally we would never afford bring three peopel from those regions at the same time due to the budget restrictions. Louise asked for 2000, Grage for 1343 and Ming for 200 USD for ticket + accommodation. </div><div>I was thinking if we give 1800-1900 to Louis (as she travels from Brazil), 1300 to Grace and 800 to Ming we will bring three people from the regions whom we can mentor with the focal points - and all this within 4000 budget. </div><div>Of course, they will have to engage before ICANN and demonstrate their willingness to contribute, as Farzy stated in her call (otherwise we reserve the right to revoke the fellowship), but I find the possibility to give the funding to people from three regions and see their engagement prior to ICANN meeting a great opportunity for us.</div><div>What do you think?</div><div>I am ready to consider other options, but this is my initial assessment.</div><div>Cheers</div><div>Tanya </div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 January 2017 at 19:33, farzaneh badii <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" target="_blank">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">All</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Please find attached the application for travel support from NCUC members.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I announced that we will decide by 15 Jan but I think we should be quicker and decide within 3 days so that the selected members can start getting engaged sooner.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We have received mentor applications from Aarti and Hago.
