This way we can build up a roster of potential members that we can access on short notice. That will also help to avoid situations like ICANN76 where last-minute funding was available and we had to scramble to find someone to allocate it to. I guess the application requirements would be similar to what we use for CROP; that is, a plan for participating in the sessions, daily reporting, etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Probably you would want to send a message soon (like today) with a deadline of this weekend so we can agree by the 13<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Let me know what everyone thinks. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ken<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> Benjamin Akinmoyeje <benakin@gmail.com> <br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, February 8, 2023 1:12 AM<br><b>To:</b> Mili Semlani <milisemlani@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> Ken Herman <ken@kherman.com>; Exec.
