I regret that we don't have enough time to let others know of the available funds.
However, I am glad that the funds would be used to support Paulos.

Patricio and Oscar,
The deadline for letting ICANN know our final number of funded people is tomorrow - that's when they need to confirm the number of hotel rooms (we already extended the deadline from the 27th August, there is no way to get this extended again) . I doubt there will be enough time for finding suitable candidates + getting them approved by the council by tomorrow.
I know there hasn't been much time to consider this issue, however, as a reminder - Chris sent out all information on this on the 21st August, so there has been time for some discussion, and I'm afraid this suggestion comes a little too late.
Gabi

My only concern is that this funding may be used also to support
non-councillors whose presence at the meeting could be important for the
policies being discussed, and so far they have had no way of knowing
that this funding is available.
Perhaps we could ask councillors to consider if there are other people
in their regions, who cannot afford to go to Cairo and that because of
the work they are doing for the ccNSO (in working groups, for instance)
might deserve to be supported.
