Note: Apologies for the short deadline for applications but we only became aware of this date upon our return from ICANN 59. We have consulted with the Co-Chairs and are launching the travel funding process for ICANN 60 with this email. Please note the closing date for applications is Wednesday 26 July 2017 23:59 UTC as we have to provide ICANN travel with the names of supported travelers by 28 July 2017.
The
CCWG-Accountability has travel funding for some Members and Rapporteurs to
attend the Face to Face meetings held the day prior to an ICANN meeting who do
not have any other funding available to them to attend.
Members
are those individuals that are specifically appointed by the chartering SO/ACs
to the CCWG-Accountability - the list of Members can be found at https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=59640780 .
Rapporteurs
are those listed as such on the CCWG-Accountability-WS2 Wiki for specific
sub-groups located at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/WS2+SubGroup+Topics. Please see the attached policy for details regarding this
funding.
If you
are not a Member or a Rapporteur, please do not apply as there is a very limited
number of seats available.
The next
Face to Face meeting of the CCWG-accountability will be held on
Friday 27 October
2017
in conjunction with ICANN
60
in
Abu Dhabi UAE
.
Those
Members and Rapporteurs wishing to be considered for travel funding should fill
out the attached form and submit it by
Wednesday 26
July
2017 to Acct-Staff@icann.org.
The
funding is
for the Face- to- Face meeting, which can include airfare, hotel and
a per-diem allocation for meals for attending the Face to Face meeting only (and
not the full ICANN meeting). However, in analyzing the requests the Co-Chairs
will consider requests for partial funding (such as only an additional day of
hotel and per diem to attend the Face to Face meeting) in order to maximize
participation. As such Members are encouraged to only apply for what they need
to allow for funding as many Members and Rapporteurs as possible.
The final
decisions on travel funding will be made by the Co-Chairs and published on the
CCWG-Accountability WS2 wiki at https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Travel+Support within
3
days
of the application period closing (a
confirmation of the posting will be sent to the CCWG email list).
Those
being supported will then be contacted by ICANN Travel using the standard ICANN
travel funding process to arrange details.
Should
you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the
CCWG-Accountability support staff at Acct-Staff@icann.org .
