​​ All, *​​* *​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​ J ​uly​ 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 .
