[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Fellow to the IGF 2018

[Bram Fudzulani]

I echoed the same sentiments shared by Thatho sometime back about the need to review our travel support policy and unfortunately there didn’t seem to be a way round this issue. 

But it’s true that many people from global south are disadvantaged and will continue to be in that state for as long as this policy remain in its current form.

This will eventually further minimise opportunities for participation for disadvantaged individuals. Just a comment for the future. Thanks.
