I am not sure if you disseminate this among your groups, Especially if you
could send it to your members based in Europe that would be great.



Thanks

under-represented countries in Europe

Dear members


We had an additional budget request approved that will allow us to select
"1 traveler per ICANN Public Meeting in FY19 (i.e. ICANN63, 64, and 65)
from an underserved and underrepresented country within the applicable
ICANN meeting region".



For the first meeting, Barcelona ICANN63, ICANN GSE European region staff
reviewed the ABR and suggest we select someone from one of the following
countries:



Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova,
Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Ukraine.



Staff looked at economic measurements, NCSG membership, and general review
of the DNS sector and ICANN community in Europe, this list is the result.



If we receive no applications from one of these countries, we will ask
ICANN to open to opportunity to an NCSG member from a developing country
who is domiciled (i.e. studying, working) in any European country.


while the applicant is preferably from one of the mentioned countries and
should be a leader, this call is open to those who are newcomers/less
active members but plan to become more active at NCSG and its
constituencies and take part in policy discussion.


A commitment to attend all NCSG meetings ( and the candidate's constituency
meetings if the candidate belongs to a consistency) during ICANN 63 is
necessary. Also, the traveler has to select one policy topic ongoing at the
GNSO and say in its statement how it will follow and report on it.


If the candidate belongs to a constituency with requirements for engagement
with for example a mentorship program in order to travel, the traveler has
to closely work with the constituency to abide by those rules as well and
be a part of mentorship program which starts before the Icann meeting and
continues during and after.


Please send your statement of interest by July 26 to
maryam.bakoshi at icann.org and farzaneh.badii at gmail.com


NCSG EC will make a decision within 7 days of submission deadline.



Text of the ABR below.



Warm regards,

FY19-08-NCSG-Participation of Leaders from Developing Countries at ICANN
Meetings NCSG request for support of leadership from developing countries
at ICANN Public Meetings

(Yes)(10,045)(to be managed by Benedetta Rossi, Manager for Policy Support
& Community Services, ICANN Policy Development Support)



The success of similar pilot efforts and the opportunity presented for
leadership recruitment from under served and underrepresented countries
qualifies this request for support. Approval is granted for 1 traveller per
ICANN Public Meeting in FY19 (i.e. ICANN63, 64, and 65) from an underserved
and underrepresented country within the applicable ICANN meeting region.
Approval of this request is contingent upon coordination with ICANN’s
Policy Development Support Team and on the submission of a written report
within 30 days of travel which addresses how the opportunity met the
request objectives and each itemized metric as per the community request.
The report is to be submitted to sbr-outcomes at icann.org and is a condition
of future resource allocations. Unused travel allocations may not be
carried over to future meetings or the next fiscal year. Approved travel
means economy airfare + hotel + per diem for 1 traveller as noted above.
