Dear CCWG-Acct , I wanted to let you know that the November 2nd Face-to-Face meeting in Hyderabad the day before ICANN 57 has been confirmed. A process had been prepared for CCWG appointed members to apply for travel funding to attend the meeting that aligns with the CCWG-Acct budget for WS2. The current budgeted amount to support the work of CCWG WS2 members allocates support (travel, hotel and per diem) for an amount equivalent to 20 appointed members to attend a CCWG-Acct. face-to-face meeting in association with an ICANN meeting with support for 7 days. The Co-Chairs have the authority to re-allocate this amount this could include supporting requests for partial funding to allow them to maximize the number of members attending (e.g. if someone only needs a few additional days of hotel this could be acceptable). You are eligible for travel support from the CCWG if you are an officially appointed member of WS2 from a Chartering SO or AC. Travel support arrangements will follow Constituency Travel Guidelines located at: https://community.icann.org/display/trvlconstit/Constituency+Travel+Home The CCWG travel support slots will be allocated as follows: CCWG Co-Chairs 3 slots (or equivalent amount) CCWG Appointed Members 17 slots (or equivalent amount) CCWG appointed Members requesting consideration by the Co-Chairs for travel support to attend a face-to-face meeting must complete the travel request form three (3) months in advance of the date of the CCWG face-to-face meeting in order to be considered for funding.
