[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Travel Support Call] NCUC mentees for ICANN62

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi everyone,

It’s time to receive our candidates for ICANN62.

This is a call for NCUC supported travellers - our NCUC "Fellowship"
or mentee program.

Traditionally NCUC has a budget for 2 attendees (1 mentor and 1
mentee) as you can see in our travel policy
(https://www.ncuc.org/get-involved/travel-policy/) . This time we are
asking for 2 mentees to be mentored by volunteers.

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

Meeting dates: 25-28 June

The mentee should participate in all meeting days

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 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. How much time, effort and work will you spend studying policy
topics before, during and after the meeting? And will you stay engaged
or volunteer to mentor future 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 NCUC main list
