    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.

    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.
