The requests submitted were the following: </div><div class="">(a) Travel support for regional and global IG and DNS related events and conferences<br class="">(b) NCSG Membership Portal Support and Development (CIVI CRM).</div><div class="">(c) Mainstreaming NCSG-FC into <a href="http://ICANN.org" class="">ICANN.org</a> processes</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I happen to consider the situation very serious because such requests were submitted without community consultation and also due to the fact that, unlike any other NCSG Committee, the FC decided to submit ABRs on their own. Other than that, the ABRs are unfinished and do not reflect good on NCSG and its constituencies. So far, Stephanie has requested the FC to withdraw such requests and gave them the deadline of tomorrow COB.</div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Our representative at the Finance Committee is Thato Mfikwe, whose mandate has just expired as we conducted him to the FC in feb 8th, 2019. Having said that, I believe we should open a call for NCUC FC representative ASAP and I would also advise NCUC not to re-appoint Thato to the post as this incident was a huge breach of confidence. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div>-- <br class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><b class=""><i class="">Bruna Martins dos Santos </i></b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">Skype ID: bruna.martinsantos<br class=""></div><div class="">@boomartins<br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
