[NCUC-EC] Travel support email

[farzaneh badii]

If there are no comments from the EC I will send the following travel
support announcement to NCUC today.


Dear All,

This is a call to apply for NCUC travel support to attend ICANN 60 in Abu
Dhabi. The meeting would be held on 28 October – 03 November 2017 - see here
<https://meetings.icann.org/en/abudhabi60> for details.

NCUC provides travel support for its members for up to 4000.00 USD for each
ICANN meeting. Each applicant can receive a maximum of 2000 USD for
justifiable expenses. Travel support policy can be found here:
http://www.ncuc.org/get-involved/travel-policy/
<http://www.ncuc.org/get-involved/travel-policy/>

<http://www.ncuc.org/get-involved/travel-policy/>
Similar to the past two meetings we will have a fellowship program, in
which NCUC newcomers or members who want to be more involved (mentees) will
work with  NCUC mentors. If you would like to apply for NCUC fellowship,
please send your statement of interest to me, and Maryam Bakoshi <
maryam.bakoshi at icann.org> by 15 August 2017, and consider the following
points when applying:

1. Why do you want to attend the Annual General Meeting? Which Working
groups or policy discussions you have been involved with and would like to
be involved further. If you have not been involved with policy discussions,
which policy discussion(s) do you want to get involved with?

2. How much support do you need? Indicate airfare, hotel, visa expenses
(Remember that we want to support as many mentees as possible, so the less
you ask for the more likely you are to receive funding - of course it also
depends on your motivation letter- and we don't offer per diem.)

3. Make it clear that you will spend time and effort and work with a
Buddy/Mentor before, during and after the AGM and will stay engaged or that
you will volunteer to mentor NCUC mentees.

Please note that if you do not get engaged satisfactorily with NCUC and
ICANN policymaking, your fellowship might be revoked.

Names of successful applications would be posted by 25 August 2017.


Best
Farzaneh
