[NCUC-DISCUSS] Travel Support for Copenhagen- Call for applications

[farzaneh badii]

Dear NCUC members,

NCUC provides travel support for its members for up to 4000.00 USD for each
ICANN meeting. Each applicant can receive a maximum of 2000 USD for
justifiable expenses. Travel support policy can be found here:
http://www.ncuc.org/participate/ncuc-travel-support/

The EC has decided this time to allocate travel support for ICANN
Copenhagen meeting in the following format: we will allocate travel support
to *experienced and new members *who apply.

   -  *The experienced members* should mentor the new members (or those who
   are not yet much engaged with NCUC and ICANN) as to how to get engaged with
   policymaking and working groups and ccwgs at ICANN. Priority will be given
   to those candidates who are already signed up at these working groups (for
   a list of working groups, see attached) and have attended at least a couple
   of sessions and have verifiable activities ( for example, are active on the
   mailing list or can prove they have attended the sessions and commented on
   the discussions.
   -  *The new members* should identify activities within NCUC and ICANN to
   be engaged with and state those in their application for travel support. In
   the months leading to Copenhagen meeting, the mentee has to provide
   evidence that they are involved with some activities at NCUC and
   ICANN. Activities and working groups that are the focus of Copenhagen
   meeting should be prioritized. A list of working groups and ccwgs is
   attached (they are item number 4 highlighted in a red box).
   -  If the New members cannot provide evidence of their active
   involvement with NCUC, their travel support may be revoked. The mentors
   should commit to providing help and guidance for the mentee. Evidence
   should be shown in the form of attendance in working group and other groups
   meeting and the mentor feedback on your attendance.
   - If experienced members do not apply for travel support, EC members or
   other volunteers will mentor the newcomers.

The mentoring requirement is lightweight. The mentor should be the mentee's
link to NCUC and ICANN activities and policy work. It  basically involves
indicating activities which can be done in partnership or individually by
coordination, such as getting engaged in a working group or contributing to
a public comment(s).

The next ICANN meeting will be held from 11 to 17 March in Copenhagen,
Denmark. Please indicate in your travel support application:

 1. Whether you want to be a mentee or a mentor
 2. Why you want to attend ICANN 58 in Copenhagen( activities you are
engaged with or plan to be engaged with and they progress further in
Copehagen)
 3. How much funding you need.

Please send your application to farzaneh.badii at gmail.com  by  January 7th
2017, the decision will be made by * January 15th, 2017. *

PS. By new member we do not mean you have to have newly joined NCUC. You
might have joined before but not gotten the chance to be more active or
still don't know your ways around.

Best
