<br>
Hope all are well and safe. I just wanted to remind all Naralo Members that it <br>
is now time to think of a special program or special request that you would like <br>
to conduct in the next fiscal year. Each year ICANN has an fund where they <br>
grant budget to certain program. This is how we had funded the Indigenous <br>
Fellowship Program, the Real Time Captioning Project and some other training. <br>
Now is that time of year. If you have some program that you would like to do, <br>
please suggest it and also fill out the template.. The timelines are listed <br>
here, <br>
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY22+Budget+Development+Workspace" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY22+Budget+Development+Workspace</a> <br>

<br>
Although the ICANN wide date for submission is January 29, At Large has its own <br>
process and according to this timeline we need to have all requests in by <br>
January 8, 2021. These requests will then be vetted by the Finance and Budget <br>
sub Committee and then if approved will go on to staff to submit the form on our <br>
behalf.<br>
<br>
On the Wiki pages linked to there is a copy of the application. Please try and <br>
fill it out as completely as possible. I would suggest you refer to the ICANN <br>
Strategic plan and also the goals and objectives since the ICANN Board will have <br>
to approve it. If you can show how your proposal meets some of the main goals <br>
and objectives your proposal will have a better chance of success.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any questions on this process or have other info you <br>
would like cleared up.<br>
<br>
If you look at last years proposals, you can get some kind of idea of how to put <br>
together a proposal. Granted many were not successful but it gives you an idea<br>
<br>
Happy to help out with any questions<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
