<p>Dear Julf, Tomslin and All, (Should I send this to the full NCSG
list??)<br>
</p>
<p>It is my new years entreaty -- Please send someone in this slot
who will a) commit to attending multiple (e.g., 4+) policy
sessions at ICANN of interest to NCSG, b) quickly write up notes
from that session (within 24 hours would be good because there may
be follow-up session that we should attend at ICANN79, and c)
reach out to people in NCSG (Tomslin, me, our Councilors, etc) <i>ahead
of time </i>about what our interests in that session might be
(so she/he can briefly share our NCSG concerns at the
microphone). <br>
</p>
<p>This would be in addition to a firm and full commitment to attend
all NCSG meetings, and their constituency meetings (NCUC and
NPOC). A quick update (with a few informal slides) should be a
minimum too. <br>
</p>
<p>We need everybody on the ground working hard at these meetings.
There are important issues being discussed - issues of vital
importance to our Noncommercial Community worldwide. If someone
has travel grant for airfare, for hotel, for per diem, let them
please commit to doing the work that merits this support. The goal
is to have people on the ground helping us. <br>
</p>
<p>If you are applying, please consider this email - how much and
what can you do to help NCSG with policy work at ICANN79? <br>
</p>
<p>Best and Happy New Year to All,</p>
<p>Kathy<br>
</p>

our councillors had to cancel their travel, we have a spare
<br>
travel slot that we need to assign before January 17th.
<br>
<br>
I am hereby requesting those of you who are interested to submit
<br>
(as per the NCSG operating procedures) your Motivation Statement
<br>
to me by private email, copying ICANN support staff. As we need
<br>
some time to evaluate the statements, the deadline to submit your
<br>
statements is Friday, January 12.
<br>
<br>
The operating procedures stipulate that:
<br>
<br>
- The Motivation Statement must explain in detail why the
<br>
applicant would like to attend the meeting, provide evidence of
<br>
full and verifiable engagement in Domain Name System policy
<br>
deliberations, proof that the applicant has previously attended
<br>
calls and contributed to PDPs, NCSG Policy Committee meetings
<br>
and other relevant policy and related meetings, and explain why
<br>
their physical presence is important for this meeting,
<br>
mentioning specific tasks they commit to carry out on behalf of
<br>
the NCSG. The tasks must be related to the NCSG and advance the
<br>
NCSG’s interests at that specific ICANN meeting.
<br>
<br>
- The applicant must commit to attending the ICANN meeting fully,
<br>
be at the meeting venue every day, and be present to the
<br>
greatest extent possible at all NCSG meetings, constituency
<br>
meetings, GNSO Council meetings, and PDP sessions for which they
<br>
have expressed interest in their Motivation Statement. If the
<br>
selected applicant does not appear to be present at the venue
<br>
without justification, s/he will not be eligible to be allocated
<br>
a travel slot in the future. The decision of such ineligibility
<br>
will be made by the NCSG Executive Committee (in the evaluation
<br>
of at least two members).
