      <br>
      I understand, it can be tough to react within 2 hours but be sure
      to inform the people you are considering, who knows, they may be
      able to apply, if not they will be aware of this opportunity for
      next time.<br>
      <br>
      Additionally, bring them into the NARALO/ALAC community so they
      are actively participating and can have access to all the
      information and opportunities.<br>
      <br>
      Apologies, that we could be late on this one hope to avoid this in
      future.<br>

      <div dir="ltr">Thank you for the reply. We are interested in
        getting a diverse group of people to apply. These include low

        internet to create income generating efforts on sites like Etsy.
        We believe their voices are as valid as those of technically
        savvy non minority persons, in keeping with ICANN's supposed
        mission., It may take a little longer than 2 hours to get them

                <br>
                There is still 2 hours for you to apply.  The first step
                Expression of interest  (Eol) read below is due today at
                23:59 UTC.  The main application is due March 26th after
                step one you will receive a link for step 2, the
                application.  <br>
                <br>
                The Eol step is not time consuming the 2nd one is. 
                Information was shared in the Newsletter in January.  We
                missed the Feb Newsletter due to misunderstanding on
                dates to publish the newsletter and content. True this
                information could have been prioritized in the last 2
                meetings.  Should even have been mentioned in the onsite
                meeting which I missed due to NOMCOM meeting..I take
                responsibility for this.<br>
