This is a call for NCSG supported travellers - NCUC, NPOC and NCSG independent members are eligible. The budget is for 2 attendees who wish to be more involved with activities of the stakeholder group, as you can see in the travel policy (https://www.ncuc.org/get-involved/travel-policy/) . The next meeting is in Barcelona - Spain, and we ask you to be ready to be mindful of visa requirements and prepare all your documentation to attend. Meeting dates: 20-25 October 2018 The selected candidate should participate in all meeting days This opportunity offers a budget of 2000 USD maximum per traveller. Funds will be reimbursed to you upon conclusion of your trip and delivery of a report (which may be published as a blog post) and relevant receipts. Consider the following points in your statement. 1. Why do you want to attend the meeting? Which Working groups or policy discussions you have been involved with and would like to be involved further. If you have not been involved in policy discussions, which policy discussion(s) will get involved with? (please provide links to your mailing list contributions and your record of attendance in WG meetings) 2. How much support do you need? Indicate airfare, hotel, visa expenses (Remember that we want to support as many mentees as possible, so the less you ask for the more likely you are to receive funding - of course, it also depends on your motivation letter- and we don't offer per diem.) 3. How much time, effort and work will you spend studying policy topics before, during and after the meeting? And will you stay engaged or volunteer to mentor future NCSG members? If you have been a part of NCUC Buddy Pilot program or plan to participate in this or other training programs within NCSG, NCUC or NPOC please mention. Please note that if you do not get engaged satisfactorily with NCSG and ICANN policymaking, your fellowship might be revoked.
