[NCUC-EC] Applications for Travel Support

[Grace Githaiga]

I would split the Africa vote to 1250 each (Kenya and Nigeria). And yes, the meeting is in Africa and cheaper to support more Africans. Benjamin has previously benefitted.

Apologies but I can’t remember our budget constraint for this meeting, but I think it was $4000, is that right?
 
My opinion is that we must support at least one person from Africa, more if possible. Oddly, it is more expense however to move people within Africa than from
 Europe to Africa. 
 
After reading the candidate statements I am inclined to support people who seem likely to become active, or who already are active contributors. My proposal is
 as follows:
 




Tatiana Tropina


Russian


500




Hago Dafalla



Sudan



0




James  Njoroge  Gitau 



Kenya


1000




Rishab Dara


India


0




Ayden  Férdeline  



UK


500




Norbert Komlan  GLAKPE  



Togo


0




Benjamin Akinmoyeje



Nigeria


0




Sonigitu Ekpe


Nigeria


1500




Renata Aquino Ribeiro


Brazil


500






TOTAL


4000




 
My impression is that Tatiana, Ayden and Renata are all very active and need to be encouraged and rewarded with some support, but do not require the full $2000.
 In Renata’s case, if indeed she can’t come if we don’t provide the full, requested $938, then I would support exceeding the budget by $438 to make it possible. Because she seems to be someone who will become a very strong contributor.
 
It is harder to choose among the others. Ben has been supported before, James, Sonigitu, Norbert and Hago have not been. However, I see a bit more promise in
 the statements and activity of James and Sonigitu. So I went with them. If $1000 is not enough to bring James Gitau to the meeting, we could increase the allocations to Renata and Sonigitu as needed.

Hi all,

 


Please find attached all the travel support requests. I have also listed them in an excel sheet. 


 


I support Tatiana Tropina, Renata Ribeiro, and Ayden  Férdeline.
Tatiana is already active in NCUC and Renata and Ayden are determined to become more active. If we agree to go with these individuals, then I think we still have funds to support one more person (perhaps partially). I think that person should be from Africa.
 I am not familiar with other candidates from Africa and their work in NCUC but I know Benjamin from Nigeria, he was an ICANN fellow with me.


 


Please give your opinion as soon as possible so that we can move ahead.


 


Best
