Important: Applications which do not clearly state an active contribution, are not eligible and will not be taken into consideration. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Review all materials and fill in the form located here: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/travel-funding/form<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ccnso.icann.org/en/about/travel-funding/…> All applications should be submitted in English.

For more details, consult the ccNSO Travel Fund Guideline: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/ccnso-draft-oisc-07jun21-en.pdf Consult the ICANN Community Travel Support Guidelines here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/community-travel-support-guidel… ICANN might require funded Travelers to sign an acknowledgement and waiver, built in the meeting registration for anyone that is registering for in-person participation.

ICANN is committed to ensuring inclusive Public Meetings that provide an equal opportunity for all to engage.
