[IGFmaglist] Travel support for 1st Open consultations and MAG meeting

[Chengetai Masango]

Dear All,

We have received a few queries from former MAG members about their eligibility for travel support.

Unfortunately, due to the usual budget constraints, we are only able to offer funding to current MAG members who fit the below criteria.

Best regards

Chengetai

Subject: [IGFmaglist] Travel support for 1st Open consultations and MAG meeting

Dear MAG Members,

We have the 1st Open Consultations and MAG meeting tentatively scheduled in our timeline for 23-25 of February at  the United Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG).

Those MAG members who would like to request for travel support and also meet the criteria. Please could you send an email to Pascal Benjamin Garde pascal.garde at un.org<mailto:pascal.garde at un.org>   stating whether it is for air fare, DSA or both by end of the day Monday 17 January.

We will be sending out a notice once we have confirmed the room etc.. with UNOG conference services. Therefore those making their own arrangements please bear with us for a few days for final confirmation.

Best regards,

Chengetai
