Also the intention of PIR is to ultimately fund NCSG (that is their preference, said in the message) and NCSG leaders will be in charge of allocation.

noncommercial interests in ICANN and is not just subsidizing people who are interested in the money. We have an impeccable 10 year record of responsible management. As soon as the NCSG develops the infrastructure to do that, I as Treasurer will gladly relinquish

by NCSG to fulfill any reporting requirements for the funder. I believe this is a fair, equitable and respectful way to move forward that shows good faith, building capacity for the NCSG community, while honouring PIR's 'block funding' intent. </span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

have opened the allocation of funds to all NCSG members so every ncsg member can apply. After this year when NCSG has a bank account and a functional finance committee we will be making decisions at NCSG level. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<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>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
NCUC/NCSG<u></u><u></u></span></p>
