[NCUC-DISCUSS] Call for application for travel support to ICANN meeting in Helsinki

[Rafik Dammak]

Dear NCUC members:

ICANN 56  will be held in Finland, Helsinki   27-30 June
2016. NCUC members can apply to receive funding to attend the meeting.
The travel dates can be ideally from 26  June  to 1st July.

The budget for each meeting for travel support is maximum
of  $4,000. $4,000 is to be divided amongst the participants who are chosen
to receive the support, i.e. not per person. Covered travel expenses may
include conference-related airfare, visas or related fees, lodging, and
airport taxis. If the actual cost of these items is greater than $2,000 the
member will be responsible for the difference. NCUC cannot provide a per
diem or cover any other expenses.  Selected travelers must make their
own travel, accommodation,visa, and related arrangements and be reimbursed
after the trip. NCUC cannot provide funds in advance of the meeting, or any
administrative support. The recipients of NCUC travel support would be
expected to send their blog posts within 4 weeks from the closure of ICANN
meeting. According to the NCUC Travel Support Policy, supported travelers
could only be reimbursed once they have delivered meeting reports or blog
posts.

Interested members should read carefully the terms and conditions of
the policy available at
http://www.ncuc.org/participate/ncuc-travel-support/ and
send a proposal as to why they should receive funding to attend this ICANN
meeting. They should also indicate the approximate amount of travel
funding. Requests can be sent both for full funding and partial
funding.Please apply by replying to  Maryam (maryam.bakoshi at icann.org) and
myself (rafik.dammak at gmail.com).

Since Sonigitu couldn't attend Marrakech meeting due to visa issue, his
previous allocation was moved to Helsinki meeting.

The deadline for application is 21st April. regardless getting or not the
travel support, you may consider applying for the visa asap (check details
here https://meetings.icann.org/en/helsinki56) since the deadline from the
host country to apply for visa is 31st May.

Best Regards,

Rafik Dammak
