[Ncsg-discuss] [Call for Expression of Interest] Travel Slot for ICANN86 Seville

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi everyone,

One of our GNSO councillors cannot unfortunately attend the ICANN meeting
in Seville. So we are opening following our operating procedure a call for
expression of interest for that travel slot. Applicants should match the
criteria set in the procedure here
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Operating+Procedures#OperatingProcedures-996937310
.

For those interested, please send your motivation statement to myself (
chair at ncsg.is) and in copy to Andrea (secretary at ncsg.is) by 11th February.

Relevant section of the operating procedures regarding the criteria and
motivation statement stipulate that:

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.

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.

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.

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).


Let us know if you have any questions or clarification.

Best regards,

Rafik
