[NCUC-EC] Funding a traveler from Cape Town for NCUC outreach

[farzaneh badii]

Hi EC,

I need a very quick response on this.

Enrico Calandro from Research ICT Africa (an organizational NCUC member) is
based in Cape Town (South Africa) and would like to attend NCUC outreach.
Here is his profile:

Research  ICT Africa does a lot of Internet policy related research and
would be good to support them to become more active. Enrico was referred to
us by Chenai Chair who makes great contributions to the Internet related
research in Africa.

At the moment local participation at the event does not look optimal. It
would be good to support some local people. I tried to raise funds from
other sources to support local participation but was unsuccessful. Enrico
needs around R4,200 which is approximately 310 USD to attend the event.

I was wondering if EC could approve this request. Note that we are not over
budget. Matt is going to be a Board member and will be supported by ICANN
(he is not a Board member yet) so we have saved money on not allocating him
1700 USD travel support.

Thanks for considering this and please get back to me ASAP.

Best



Farzaneh
