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

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear EC,

Based on the fact that the only two EC members who sent in their complete
applications within the deadline were Antonella and Michael, I will send
their names to staff as the 2 EC funded travelers for Marrakech.

best,
bruna
