As for the travel request to the IGF 2021 it could be provided if it justified according to the ABR principle: Travel and Project Related Principles: “21. A travel or sponsorship request will only be granted for ICANN-hosted or ICANN-sponsored events unless it is either (1) consistent with existing ICANN regional engagement strategies, (2) involves internet governance or DNS topics or (3) is otherwise coordinated with the ICANN Stakeholder Engagement Vice President responsible for the region in which the event or activity is held. “ *“Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the Increasing Governance Challenges Ahead”* My opinion No because the objective doesn’t fall into ICANN remits but more to RIRs *“Diversity in ICANN Leadership bodies”* The concept of the workshop is relevant but not clear what and where is the financial support goes for. If it is for travel request, it can go through CROP “Diversity in ICANN Leadership bodies (Part II) (Travel support to ICANN Meetings for three young people)” No: ABS request doesn’t provide travels support to third party. For both ABRs: *IGF Global (2021 in Poland) specific budget - At-Large delegation proposal for IGF Global in Poland (Katowice 2021)* (Travel Support for At-Large Delegation to the 2021 Global IGF) *Support participation of individual users in EURALO* For the travel request to the IGF 2021 it could be provided if it justified according to the ABR principle: Travel and Project Related Principles: “21. A travel or sponsorship request will only be granted for ICANN-hosted or ICANN-sponsored events unless it is either (1) consistent with existing ICANN regional engagement strategies, (2) involves internet governance or DNS topics or (3) is otherwise coordinated with the ICANN Stakeholder Engagement Vice President responsible for the region in which the event or activity is held. “ On Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 8:28 AM Yesim Nazlar <yesim.nazlar@icann.org> wrote:

Dear Heidi,
Kindly accept my apologies for the FBSC meeting tomorrow, because it conflicts with a f2f meeting locally.
I expected to find a proposal from AFRALO as per the last meeting of the OFB-WG. If you have it you can send it to me and I can provide you with my comments before the meeting tomorrow.
Hence here is my comments on the two ABR proposals,
*“Real-time Captioning RTT of Zoom Meetings in Spanish and French”*
Comments:
A) Title: I suggest adding to the title “Pilot” to be
Pilot Real-time Captioning RTT of Zoom Meetings in Spanish and French
Reasoning: To see if it does provide value for money. I mean if there will be enough users to this service.
B) A comment on: Could this proposal splitted into two pilots.
1) To provide a real-time Captioning RTT in Spanish/French
2) To provide a translation to the English real-time Captioning RTT to the other language (French/Spanish) and make it available with the recording of the session.
C) Regarding the integration of more than one language of the RTT into Zoom, I expect it to be very complex. Hence providing the RTT of the non-english language through a separate stream link might be feasible.
I’m with the support of this ABR proposal.
*“Virtual School of Internet Governance ( VSIG)”*
Since ICANN always co-sponsors schools of IG, I don’t see any reason for not supporting the translation of the material of VSIG unless sponsoring such programs goes through the Global Stakeholder Engagement budget. However, the proposal needs to elaborate on the material to be translated, because VSIG did announce the delivery of VSIG for its third edition in English, Spanish and French.
Thank you,
Best wishes,
Nadira
