[NCSG-FC] [Ext] Fwd: Final call: ICANN 63 Meeting request

[Joan Kerr]

Hi Thato,

Perhaps have a formal request to the NCSG EC to support the Finance
Committee for travel. if funds are available.  I think it's important for
such an important Committee to have the opportunity to present the plans
and build relationships.  As Renata mentioned, there is also the open call
for participation for the PIR funds, I an not sure how much money was
received, however, some of it could be set aside for the FC Members.  You
can try proposing it.
Thanks,
