[NCUC-EC] Initiating NCUC travel support call for helsinki

[Maryam Bakoshi]

Hi Rafik,

Please could it be explicitly stated that the $4000 is the maximum the EC can allocate for a given travel period (to be divided amongst participants who are chosen to receive this support - i.e. not per person).
Someone reading it might think it's $4000 per person if they don't read the entire travel policy :)

Many thanks,

Maryam Bakoshi

I am raising this because nobody 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,
