Who decided that all of the allocation would be received by NCUC particularly when it is invoking sole application of its operational procedures? There appears to be much bias in this decision. NCSG, NPOC and its respective representatives would have good grounds for an ombudsman referral on any decision made in this way.

<br>
The Public Interest Registry, the primary donor of NCUC has informed<br>
us that it prefers to fund NCSG as a whole so that all NCSG members<br>
and its constituencies can benefit from the funding. However, since<br>
NCSG at the moment does not have the appropriate channels to allocate<br>
the money nor receive it, the NCUC will receive the funding for this<br>
year and open the future calls for application for travel support to<br>
all NCSG members and its constituencies.<br>
<br>
Please note that the decision processes regarding the allocation of<br>
travel support or any other allocation of funding will be carried out<br>
through NCUC Executive Committee based on the NCUC Operating<br>
Procedures.<br>

Best,<br>
