NPOC request for a pilot program to develop local leaders from developing countries.

(Yes)(8,100)(Janice Douma Lange)

Similar leadership support activities have been productively piloted by members of the Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG). This request is approved on an FY18 pilot basis only.  Travel for one new participant from a developing country in the region of ICANN60, ICANN61 and ICANN62 is approved to attend the relevant ICANN Public Meeting. The request component seeking travel support to attend third party Internet governance-related meetings is not approved and can be addressed via the CROP program now part of ICANN's core budget.  Approval of this request is contingent upon the supported traveller demonstrating participation in already established programs (i.e., Newcomers day session and Fellowship meetings) and on the submission of a written report to be submitted within 30 days of travel which addresses each itemized metric as per request. Report to be submitted to sbr-outcomes@icann.organd is a condition of future resource allocations. Unused travel slots cannot be rolled over to future ICANN meetings or fiscal years.  Travel components include: economy airfare + hotel + per diem
