[NCUC-EC] Fwd: Funding civil society day before IGF

Sat Nov 25 02:45:54 CET 2017

Hi all

EC, remember you don't need to approve the full request. You can
provide funding for a lesser amount.

Michael, in answer to your question, more information form Farzaneh below

Hi Renata,

Civil Society day is a pre-IGF event which is organized by various
civil society networks namely: EFF, NCSG, APC, IGC, JNC.

The event is normally attended by around 50-60 people.

Most of the networks pitch in money, or source money. EFF pitches
money in, and NCUC funded civil society day last year too (I think
around 1000 USD). Food in Geneva is expensive, the menu that we are
looking at is around 2200 CHF (Swiss Frank). We asked ICANN to fund it
as well.

At the moment Jeremy told me that to serve lunch during the event, it
comes to 2200 USD. If ICANN and EFF chip in too we can have a pot of
money to cover food and cover partial travel funding upon request.

 Some put forward their request in registration list to get partial
funding to attend the meeting. The program committee decides on who
gets funded and for how much(program committee consists of the
networks reps: IGC, NCSG EFF, APC, JNC. The participants can be
members of the civil society networks, bestbits etc. Last year for
Mexico I think we supported partially two travelers from LAC.

Best

Farzaneh
