[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Travel Grant Opportunity for ICANN77

[Andrea Glandon]

Hello NCUC Members:

I am happy to announce that the NCUC Executive Committee has approved a pilot programme to provide limited grant funding for members to attend ICANN77. We are calling it the “Engagement Enhancement Pilot Programme (E2P2)”. The concept behind the programme is to encourage participation from individuals interested in contributing to the work of NCUC. This programme is for ICANN77 only, and the EC will review the programme effectiveness before deciding to continue for any future ICANN meeting.

ICANN77 is the 2023 Policy Forum, which will convene in Washington, D.C., from 12 – 15 June 2023.

The grant is for $500 each for two NCUC members. Accepted applicants will be reimbursed up to $500 each upon submission of a hotel or airfare receipt after the meeting.

Criteria. Candidates for the funding must:
-                Be a member of NCUC.
-                Have checked-in for the 2023 Non-commercial Election.
-                Participated in an ICANN working group for the past 3 months.
-                Attended two NCSG policy committee meetings in 2023.

Expectations: The selected candidate should be prepared to:
-                Participate in most of ICANN77.
-                -                Participate in drafting communications during the meeting to the NCUC membership regarding the sessions attended.
-                -                Participate in a post-meeting membership call to describe the outcomes/activities of the meeting.

How to apply: If you wish to be considered, kindly complete the online application through the link provided with the following information by the deadline:
