[NCUC-EC] Assessing Travel Support Requests for BA

[William Drake]

I suppose if we wanted to get crazy and split up to $4,000 over three there’s nothing to prevent us from doing so, but in reality that’d probably not even cover their plane tickets.  Don’t know if that would prevent anyone from being able to do it.

Some other considerations to have in the pot, if we have to tell two people no:

*There will be like a dozen IANA and accountability meetings with significant decisions to be made in the end, and one human rights meeting that will be part of a longer-term effort to inch an agenda forward.

*How time sensitive are the respective activities in terms of this particular meeting, and will NCUC be adequately represented in them if persons x and y do not go and participate remotely.

*What are the chances that persons x and y would be able to get other funding and come anyway.

*FWIW Monika is traveling to EuroDIG on NCUC’s CROPP allocation.

Would like to hear from others…I’m as conflicted as anyone here :-(

>> Monika Zalnieriute (Lithuania): Was in Singapore on other money, deeply involved with the human rights effort launched after NCUC’s London CD meeting with the COE + Switzerland.  See her app sent to the list 14 April.  We got her CROPP support to attend the EuroDIG meeting in Sofia in June.
>> 
>> Arun Sukumar (India): Attended Istanbul (we have his interview by ICANN on our website), has quickly gotten deeply engaged in the accountability process (sent a report to the list on a meeting held in Delhi) and is tracking the IANA transition too.  Was in Singapore at our CD meeting on his organization’s dime.  See his app sent to the list 18 April.
>> 
>> James Gannon (Ireland): Attended Istanbul, has quickly gotten deeply engaged in the IANA and accountability processes, also participating in the Privacy and Proxy Accreditation WG and the IAG on WHOIS Conflicts.  See his app sent to the list 19 April.
>> 
>> James Njoroge Gitau (Kenya): Not previously involved much but would like to have a look and consider ways to engage, per Ben in Singapore. See his app sent to the list 20 April.

It should NOT be based on personalities, feelings, likability, first come first served, and other extraneous things. Also, keep in mind that there is a fellowship program from the much richer ICANN that can bring in new and untested people.
