I do have some suggestions that do not need to replace the "example" list but augment it</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
I propose a short discussion on the following as one of the small group drafters:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Example: ICANN has cut short funding for CROP, which is a program available to each constituency/SG, that used to have up to five annually, with 1 -2 out of region, to do awareness/recruitment. It is now only 3, and in region.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
My suggestion is that funding applications from constituencies/SGs/SO/ACs that are similar in purpose should be accepted if they meet the "consistent with ICANN's core mission and activities" criteria. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Rationale:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Building awareness and recruitment into engagement at ICANN takes many forms, and the Fellowship Program is not really. an effective modality for the BC, or the contracted parties, as analysis of that program shows, even as it brings different value. Bringing
a speaker with expertise to a national or sub regional event that can explain ICANN from the "community" perspective brings significant value. Proposals could be limited in number and limited to $5,000 per event. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Example: ICANN has cut and limited community funding for bringing together community groups at external IG events such as Internet Governance Forum; RIR events; IEEE and IETF events -- all of which build engagement. Events that are domain registry/registrar
focused are assumed not to need funding but in reality, to build the DNS business in developing countries and LDCs, some travel sponsorships for qualified and committed participants could spark more DNS suppliers back at the national and sub regional levels. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Applications for engagement in a wide number of events -- ranging from IGF, to national and sub regional IGFs, to technical events, to specially focused DNS business development events with rationale for benefit and contribution to the ICANN mission and core
principles should be accepted</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Note: Although ICANN Org Engagement seems to have pretty unlimited funding for their staff and for Board members to travel, without much transparency, programs that support the community continue to be cut.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Example: Community engagement in standards entities -- ranging from WWW, to IETF, to IEEE to new approaches, such as Moz:lla's work on Ethics in AI</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Proposals that support engagement and even hosting of events that broaden and deepen engagement are great examples that could be supported</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Example: Scholars focused on research that advance technical areas that affect ICANN's mission and core activities. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
This would require advice from SSAC and other experts, including from IAB/IETF, WWW; IEEE, and more but could provide a category that applications could be submitted</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Example: National and sub regional activities that affect the Internet and ICANN's core mission</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
This is already addressed, I think. but just want to reinforce it as a core priority</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Example: Advancing how Youth and Children can benefit from the Internet </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
I am not going to elaborate much on this but it could be access projects that connect the unconnected; it could e about bringing in youth voices to ICANN or other IG events that ICANN participates in, such as the national IGFs.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Example: Engaging elected and appointed policy makers -- advancing awareness </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">
Increasingly, elected and appointed policy makers are asking how to regulate the Internet and this affects ICANN's role. Examples like the Internet Congressional Caucus and a similar initiative in Europe have brought parliamentarians forward as champions of
the Internet and ICANN. Proposals from a national level to engage with Parliamentarians and key Ministries at the national level to advance endorsement of ICANN's role should be accepted. </div>
