>> I have not participated actively is due to my limited understanding of some of the issues issues. I will rather be observe than create noise, but I follow all the mail trails.

>> Hi Ben
>> 
>> Seasons greetings.  The NCUC Exec Committee has agreed to offer you $2,000 in travel support toward the cost of participation at the ICANN 52 meeting in Singapore 8-12 February 2015 <>.  This offer is subject to the terms and conditions set out in our Travel Support Policy http://www.ncuc.org/governance/travel-policy/ <http://www.ncuc.org/governance/travel-policy/>.  Please note that you would need to make your own arrangements, and save your travel and accommodation receipts for submission after the meeting to NCUC Treasurer Milton Mueller (you can just scan and email them) so there’s verification that you attended the meeting.  You could then arrange an interbank wire transfer with Milton.
>> 
>> I would stress that as you have not been deeply engaged to date the EC is sort of stretching the rules of the policy a little on the bet that you are seriously interested in becoming active.  We hope we have this interpretation right.
>> 
>> Please let me know whether you will be able to avail yourself of this opportunity.

>> Thanks much
