[farzaneh badii]

with pleasure Tapani, since I am not at all you have not seen my emails on
NCSG mailing list nor NPOC and have not been forwarded , I draw
your attention to the copy paste of the email I sent to NPOC EC and Joan on
7 May. I don;t know if they have an archive.

And even with more pleasure, I would like to bring your attention to this
on NCSG:

Joan and all,

Here is Paul's response which he said I can share with you:

Please accept this note as Public Interest Registry’s confirmation that the
financial support we offered in 2017 was paid to the Non-Commercial Users
Constituency (NCUC) with the understanding that it’s leadership would use
the funds as it saw fit. The same will be true for 2018 once that invoice
is received. If NCUC leadership can administer this year’s support to the
benefit of members of either the NCUC or the Not-for-Profit Operational
Concerns constituency, so much the better.



As previously noted, Public Interest Registry would prefer to offer its
financial support to the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG), and let
the NCSG’s leadership use it as it sees fit. Given the NCSG’s lack of
infrastructure (bank account, tax ID number), however, we will continue to
engage directly with the NCUC via the existing arrangements.



Finally, Public Interest Registry is open to directly supporting NPOC or
NCUC ad hoc projects that meet our collective interests and needs. We make
no promises of support, however, and will need to review any such
opportunities on a case by case basis.


For this year, the money will go to NCUC bank account. NCUC EC will decide
to open the call for travel support or other opportunities to the NCSG
members and its constituencies and decide on travel allocation. NCSG will
make an effort to open a bank account, get a Tax ID and come up with the
appropriate procedure to allocate the funding for next year and also
activate its Finance Committee.

Best

Farzaneh
