Information Sharing TOMORROW: ICANN68 Travel Support Deadline Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support INFORMATION SHARING Community travel support requests for ICANN68 are due to the relevant community group support team by Friday, 21 February 2020. The deadline for submissions is critical to allow for Office of Foreign Assets Control review, travel arrangements, and confirmed reservations as required for visa applications. Benefits of having community travel support requests 120 days before the next ICANN Public Meeting include: · Allow ICANN org to gather the documentation required (hotel and flight confirmations) for supported travelers to apply for their visa. · Allow enough time for supported travelers to complete and submit their visa application, which often vary per ICANN Public Meeting location. · Allow enough time for supported travelers to apply for a transit visa (if required), which often vary per ICANN Public Meeting location. · Allow ICANN org to purchase less expensive airfares. · Allow supported travelers to plan their pre-and-post ICANN Public Meeting travel in advance. · Allow ICANN org to set-up supported travelers in advance as vendors with Finance allowing us to wire their per diem/stipend funds in a timelier manner. REMINDER: Nomination Period for ICANN Community Excellence Award 2020 Now Open From: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support INFORMATION SHARING The nomination period for the ICANN Community Excellence Award 2020 is now open. Formerly known as the Multistakeholder Ethos Award, the ICANN Community Excellence Award recognizes ICANN community members who substantively contribute to policymaking within the ICANN ecosystem and who are deeply invested in developing consensus-based solutions within ICANN’s multistakeholder model.
