Dear Councillors, Last Friday the call for funded travellers to Sydney started (see email below). This also means that it is time for you to start thinking of what councillor from your region you wish to appoint to receive travel funding. As we will have three new Councillors from the Mexico meeting which also are eligible to receive funding, they have been cc'd into this email as well. Please, let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Gabi -----Original Message----- From: owner-ccnso-members@icann.org [mailto:owner-ccnso-members@icann.org] On Behalf Of Gabriella Schittek Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 11:09 AM To: ccnso-members@icann.org Subject: [ccnso-members] Travel funding for ccNSO members to Sydney meeting Dear ccNSO members, The ccNSO travel funding committee is now accepting applications to the ICANN meeting in Sydney 21-26 June 2009.
