[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Fellow to the IGF 2018

[Thato Mfikwe]

Thanks Bruna,

But I think this travel support policy position needs to be adjusted because not all community members, especially from the global south, are unable to cover any form of personal expense, not only for the IGF but also for ICANN meetings. This will eventually further minimise opportunities for participation for disadvantaged individuals. Just a comment for the future. Thanks.

Dear all,  

The executive committee decided to allocate one travel slot for the IGF 2018 for a member to carry out outreach. 

NCUC Fellowship to the IGF (up to 2000 USD):

To Apply:
• 
• 
• Send your statement of interest, laying out your outreach plans for NCUC during the 13th IGF, your activities in various working groups, the workshops
•  you will take part in, a paragraph in your own words about what the NCUC does, and how much funding you are seeking to Maryam Bakoshi <maryam.bakoshi at icann.org>
•  and chair at ncuc.org
• 
• 

Scope:

- We particularly encourage applications from confirmed workshop panelists, in order to encourage professional development. If you are a confirmed panelist, please include a link to your workshop in the proposal.
- Priority will be given to candidates FROM THE IGF2018 REGION to maximise the NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES.
- Priority will be given to candidates seeking PARTIAL FUNDING (Airfare only, hotel only, bus, train etc.) if that allocation might allow us to support multiple candidates. If you are seeking partial funding, please let us know where the remainder of your funding is coming from, and why you need a top-up.
- The applicant should be an active NCUC member (mailing list, working groups, drafting materials etc.)
- The applicant should work with the leadership team in supporting preparations for the  IGF, in particular for NCUC outreach activities (tweets, booth..), as well as activities onsite. 
- The applicant should have enough knowledge about what the NCUC does and how ICANN works represent the constituency at our booth at IGF and answer any questions that might come up.
- In receiving funding for a meeting, travellers agree to write daily reports during the meeting to update the membership on the proceedings. At her discretion, the NCUC Chair may choose to publish these reports as a blog post, or may request that the representative convert their report into a blog post. If a representative receives support, and does not meet their commitments as outlined above, they will be ineligible to receive further NCUC resources (see Travel Policy).

Please apply by 13h UTC, 1st November 2018, and results will be announced on the list on 3rd of November. 

We do understand that the timeline is short we found it important to offer our members the opportunity to join and participate at the IGF as a constituency representative. 

Best, 
--
