[NCSG-EC] Arsene's travel slot transfer

[Robin Gross]

This looks good to me.  I have one question though.  What is meant by “if you would like to be an alternate on the council”?  Does this mean to be the temporary replacement for the absent GNSO councilor during GNSO Council sessions?  

Since we don’’t always provide the travel slot to the same person who serves as the temporary replacement on council, one might not realize that we sometimes have an ex-councilor or other experienced member (who already has other travel support) serve as the temporary replacement GNSO Councilor during the meeting and this travel slot can go to someone else working in the PDPs who we also need to be at the specific meeting.  We do have some flexibility in how we choose to allocate the travel slots.

Thanks,
Robin

The tasks must be related to the NCSG and advance the NCSG’s interests at that specific ICANN meeting.

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).

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
