Participation of underserved countries in ICANN 65 in Marrakech

[Stephanie Perrin]

This is for under-served countries, and is administered by ICANN.  https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=74584754&preview=/74584754/84224725/FY19%20AddBudReq%20Explanations%20-%20FINAL-%20Per%20Category%20-%2026%20APRIL%202018.docx

I have asked Maryam to check with the responsible staff to see if we can add to the list if there are no applicants from the countries which they have identified as underserved.  The relevant portion from the document above is the following:


FY19-08-NCSG-Participation of Leaders from Developing Countries at ICANN Meetings

NCSG request for support of leadership from developing countries at ICANN Public Meetings

(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 traveler 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 traveler as noted above.

I hope this answers your questions.

As some of you may recall, we have an approved additional budget request for 2018-19 to fund the participation of representatives from under-served countries, in the various ICANN meetings.  ICANN 65 in Marrakech is coming, up, and members are encouraged to apply for the funding if they are resident in the following countries:

  *   Guinea Bissau
  *   Sao Tome and Principe
  *   Eritrea

This is a short list, and a short time frame as we are being asked to confirm our list of travellers by February 22nd.  If you know members who might qualify and be interested, please bring it to their attention.  Please forward statements of interest to myself and Maryam Bakoshi by COB February 21st.

kind regards,

Stephanie Perrin
