Funding for APAC participant to attend ICANN 64

[Stephanie Perrin]

Dear Members
Call For One (1) ICANN FUNDED traveller to attend ICANN64 from the APAC region based on Approved FY18 ABR.

We had an additional budget request approved that will allow us to select "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".

While the applicant should be from an underserved APAC region and preferably 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 traveller has to select one policy topic ongoing at the GNSO and say in their statement how they 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 traveller has to closely work with the constituency to abide by those rules as well and be a part of the mentorship program , which starts before the ICANN meeting and continues during and after.

Please send your statement of interest by MONDAY NOVEMBER 12, 2018 2359 UTC to maryam.bakoshi at icann.org<mailto:maryam.bakoshi at icann.org> and chair at ncsg.is<mailto:chair at ncsg.is>

NCSG EC will make a decision within 3 days of submission deadline.

(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<mailto: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.
