made report for Dublin while we spend more than 4000USD and we are still
waiting for marrakech posts (checking with all recipients, one already sent
her draft). Maryam worked on the list of recipients for previous meetings
and we can make them public in website for transparency.

Dear NCUC members:

ICANN 56  will be held in Finland, Helsinki   27-30 June
2016. NCUC members can apply to receive funding to attend the meeting.
The travel dates can be ideally from 26  June  to 1st July.

The budget for each meeting for travel support is maximum of  $4,000.
Covered travel expenses may include conference-related airfare, visas or
related fees, lodging, and airport taxis. If the actual cost of these items
is greater than $2,000 the member will be responsible for the
difference. NCUC cannot provide a per diem or cover any other expenses.
Selected travelers must make their own travel, accommodation,visa, and
related arrangements and be reimbursed after the trip. NCUC cannot provide
funds in advance of the meeting, or any administrative support. The
recipients of NCUC travel support would be expected to send their blog
posts within 4 weeks from the closure of ICANN meeting.

Interested members should read carefully the terms and conditions of
the policy available at
http://www.ncuc.org/participate/ncuc-travel-support/ and
send a proposal as to why they should receive funding to attend this ICANN
meeting. Please apply by replying to  Maryam and Rafik.

Since Sonigitu couldn't attend Marrakech meeting due to visa issue, his
allocation was moved to Helsinki meeting.

For information, in addition to support for ICANN meetings, NCUC EC can
exceptionally provide some  support for other events of interest.

Best regards,
