Hi Karen Recently the funding has been used regionally - for ALS reps from the region to attend the meeting, and at the last few meetings we have had ALS reps forming RALOs and signing MoUs. In the next meeting, the PR meeting in June, reps from LACRALO and NARALO-to-be will attend. The idea is that people from the region will attend the meeting in their region. It allows us to use the funds to get more people there as it is usually cheaper to travel within the region than around the world. Remember that ALAC suggests, but ICANN disposes. (We have rarely disagreed, but ALAC does not have power to actually spend $$) Jacqueline -----Original Message----- From: karen banks [mailto:karenb@gn.apc.org] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 8:08 AM To: Adam Peake; shahshah@irnic.ir; Alan Greenberg Cc: At-Large Worldwide Subject: Re: [At-Large] Global Fellowships Program hi
ALAC has its own cash and perhaps up to ALAC to work out how to use it?
could someone point me to the current policy on how ALAC does allocate funds to participation for folk interested in participating in ICANN meetings?
One quick thought... put a portion of the ALAC budget into the fellowship fund just announced and invite a proportionate number of "users" unaffiliated with ALS (etc) as part of the overall fellowship group.
interesting idea.. karen _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC@atlarge-lists.icann.org http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac_atlarge-lists.icann.org www.alac.icann.org www.icannalac.org No virus found in this incoming message.
