Procedures for EC funding allocation

 – ICANN Meetings funding allocation for Executive Committee representatives

–  Executive Committee representatives travel support allocations

For each ICANN Meeting, the NCUC leadership team is allocated three
travel slots. One of these travel slots must be assigned to the NCUC
Chair. The remaining two travel slots, or a reallocation of the
Chair’s travel slot if he or she relinquishes it, will be assigned to
representatives who fulfill the following criteria:

The representative develops an activity plan that he or she will carry
out in the ICANN meeting. This plan must contain a detailed account of
the representative’s current engagement in ICANN activities, their
plan of engagement at the face-to-face meeting, and explain why and
how their physical presence in that meeting is important for achieving
the NCUC’s objectives and mission. The timeline for the submission of
this application will follow the procedure described in the NCUC
Travel Support Policy unless initiated sooner by the NCUC Chair at his
or her discretion. The EC travel funding allocation should precede
NCUC travel support programme.
The representative must observe all criteria for eligibility as
described in the NCUC Travel policy session above, highlighting the
participation on NCSG and NCUC activities.
In case of a tie between applicants, the Chair will ask
representatives to make reasonable efforts to find an alternative
source of funding. Evidence must be provided to the Chair of these
attempts. If a representative seeks alternative funding but is
declined or rejected, this will not be held against them.
Representatives who make no reasonable efforts to find alternative
funding will receive lower priority for NCUC resources than those who
make reasonable efforts;
Where there are more candidates for a slot than there are slots
available, the regional designation of the EC representative may be a
factor weighing in its allocation. The EC representative must send a
detailed action plan outlining their plans for inreach/outreach of
membership within their region;
As described in Eligibility criteria, EC who have received travel
support for the previous meeting cannot apply again.
In receiving funding for a meeting, travellers agree to write daily
reports during the meeting to update the membership on the proceedings
. At his or her discretion, the NCUC Chair may choose to publish these
reports as a blog post, or may request that the representative convert
their report into a blog post.
If a representative receives support, and does not meet their
commitments as outlined above, they will be ineligible to receive
further NCUC resources.
