Dear All, The ALAC has several travel slots available for the ICANN62 meeting in Panama, 25-28 June 2018. There are two or more travel slots that will be allocated to At-Large participants who are ACTIVELY involved in some ICANN policy activity, or those with a strong history of such involvement in the past and an interest to restart. Those include gNSO or ccNSO PDPs, CCWGs, ALAC support Working Groups and the At-Large Review (with a lesser emphasis on the latter). Other slots may be opened due to other travellers not being able to attend or not requiring full funding. If you are interested in being considered for one of these travel slots, please complete the following survey: https://goo.gl/forms/E5iDK174rW2k9j3t1 We have a very short time in which to finalize our traveler list, so replies are due no later than 23:59 UTC on Tuesday, 27 March 2018.
