Please specify how you intend to contribute to the work of the ccNSO at the
next ICANN meeting:
First of all I would like to thank the ccNSO Travel Fund Committee for giving
me the opportunity to attend ICANN61 in San Juan. Thank you so very much.
Attending the ICANN meetings is so fruitful for the work behind ccTLDs and
gTLDs.
As a small ccTLD you learn how other ccTLDs operate and manage and you meet
so many passionate people that love what they do.

I would appreciate very much being given the opportunity to attent ICANN63 in
Barcelona, as I have never experienced an AGM ICANN meeting. I truly believe
that I can contribute and participate in the work of the country code Name
Supporting Organisation, either by being engaged in working groups or by
giving a presentation about the challenges behind a small ccTLD.

I was given the opportunity to give a presentation about our ccTLD .fo at one
of the ccNSO meeting sessions held in San Juan. Since ICANN61 there has
happened a lot behind the ccTLD .fo. We were facing some challenges both on
our back end system and front end system, which resulted in an agreement to
find never and smarter methods and systems. Attending ICANN61 I got the
opportunity to network and talk to so many passionate people working within
this field. I was introduced to a lot of possibilities and everyone was so
helpful and co-operative and I felt welcome everywhere. Networking with ccNSO
members and observing it's members truly felt like a small family  :)

I would be so very grateful for acceptance, and please do not hesitate to
contact me if you have any inquiries.

Have a great summer  :)

Kind regards
Guðrun Poulsen
