[farzaneh badii]

Unfortunately one of our council members cannot make it to Barcelona.

Please send in you motivation letter to me and cc Maryam Bakoshi.

Your motivation statement should  include enough information so that at
NCSG EC we can evaluate your application.  the requirements are set by
operating procedures.  Please apply by 22 September 2018, 12 UTC.

   1.

      The Motivation Statement must explain in detail why the applicant
      would like to attend the meeting, provide evidence of full and verifiable
      engagement in Domain Name System policy deliberations, proof that the
      applicant has previously attended calls and contributed to PDPs, NCSG
      Policy Committee meetings and other relevant policy and related meetings,
      and explain why their physical presence is important for this meeting,
      mentioning specific tasks they commit to carry out on behalf of the NCSG.
      The tasks must be related to the NCSG and advance the NCSG’s interests at
      that specific ICANN meeting.
      2.

      If the applicant is to be an alternate to a GNSO Councillor, he or
      she should have an understanding of how the Council works and
have observed
      their meetings beforehand. They must provide a letter of recommendation
      from either a) the Chair of the NCSG Policy Committee, or (b) a serving
      member of the Council in his or her second term.
      3.

      While Executive Committee’ travel slots may be allocated to
      newcomers, newcomers should commit to attending  sessions of the NCSG
      leading up to the ICANN meeting, as well as undertaking revision and
      background reading on at least one internal governance document and a PDP.
      4. The applicant must commit to attending the ICANN meeting fully, be
      at the meeting venue every day, and be present to the greatest extent
      possible at all NCSG meetings, constituency meetings, GNSO Council
      meetings, and PDP sessions for which they have expressed
interest in their
      Motivation Statement. If the selected applicant does not appear to be
      present at the venue without justification, s/he will not be
eligible to be
      allocated a travel slot in the future. The decision of such ineligibility
      will be made by the NCSG Executive Committee (in the evaluation
of at least
      two members).
      5.

      The NCSG Chair or ICANN support staff will send all eligible requests
      received for travel support to the NCSG EC mailing list. Ineligible
      requests are those applications that do not have Motivation
Statements. (If
      a Motivation Statement is missing and the application has been received
      well before the deadline, the NCSG Chair or ICANN support staff will
      endeavor to remind the candidate to re-submit their application
before the
      deadline with the Motivation Statement completed.) In addition, after the
      deadline has passed, the NCSG Chair or ICANN support staff will
inform any
      applicants whose application was unsuccessful due to being incomplete. An
      application is incomplete if it only expresses the desire to travel but
      does not provide a detailed justification for being present during the
      meeting and fulfill the criteria set out under section 4
