[NCUC-EC] ICANN65 | Marrakech - EC Travelers Application Due15 February 2019

Mon Feb 4 21:03:35 CET 2019

Hi all,

I would like to apply for a Marrakech slot. I haven't asked for EC
support for Kobe, and since ICANN66 will be in Canada, this will be
the only meeting in 2019 where I request support.

I'm heavily involved in a number of aspects of ICANN policy work
representing the NCUC, including in the RPMs group, as most recently
as a member of the ATRT3 review team. Happy to develop an engagement
plan, as needed, and to complete the reporting requirements, as I've
done for previous meetings.

Best,

Michael

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.
