[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Travel Support Call] NCUC mentees for ICANN61

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi everyone,


We have a different call for travel support this time.


While we are ascertaining the details of this course, we already need
to issue the call for NCUC supported travellers - our NCUC
"Fellowship".


This time we are proposing 3 mentees attend this event.


Traditionally NCUC has a budget for 2 attendees (1 mentor and 1
mentee) as you can see on our travel policy
(https://www.ncuc.org/get-involved/travel-policy/) .


This is an unique opportunity for 3 mentees to attend and be engaged in NCUC.


Note that, a day before the meeting (9Mar) an experienced professional
in policy writing will train NCUC mentees in a course with practical
activities. This course will also be accompanied by at least one
previous webinar and may have a follow-up webinar after the meeting.


Youl'll have mentorship from our community members and from our Policy Course.


The next meeting is in Puerto Rico - USA, and we ask you to be ready
to be mindful of visa requirements and prepare all your documentation
to attend.


We will also note that your arrival date should be before the
beginning of business day 9 March and your departure after the closing
of business day 15 March.


NCUC offers a budget of 2000 USD maximum per traveller. Funds will be
reimbursed to you upon conclusion of your trip and delivery of a
report (which may be published as a blog post) and relevant receipts.


Consider the following points in your statement.

1. Why do you want to attend the Annual General Meeting? Which Working
groups or policy discussions you have been involved with and would
like to be involved further. If you have not been involved in policy
discussions, which policy discussion(s) do you want to get involved
with?

2. How much support do you need? Indicate airfare, hotel, visa
expenses (Remember that we want to support as many mentees as
possible, so the less you ask for the more likely you are to receive
funding - of course, it also depends on your motivation letter- and we
don't offer per diem.)

3. Make it clear that you will spend time and effort and work with a
Buddy/Mentor before, during and after the AGM and will stay engaged or
that you will volunteer to mentor NCUC mentees.

Please note that if you do not get engaged satisfactorily with NCUC
and ICANN policymaking, your fellowship might be revoked.

Names of successful applicants would be posted in [date to be announced]

Thank you
