<br>
My thoughts on the following point<br>
<br>
* the 4000usd budget<br>
Keep it for travel support for ICANN Mtg but include in that too being<br>
part of the outreach effort<br>
Likely folks from the region will benefit more<br>
<br>
*budget for outreach/inreach<br>
It would be important to have a budget for outreach, yes. I think this<br>
budget can be in the form of micro-grants.<br>
Sometimes folks just need to fly in a speaker, or need to print a<br>
leaflet or organize a coffee-break.<br>
This can be also for inreach initiatives, small training sprints or<br>
thematical discussions on NCUC urgent issues<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
