*Dear NPOC members*

The NPOC Executive had some month ago applied to ICANN for Financial 
Year 16 Special Community Requests. We are very happy to be able to 
inform you that all 5 requests have been granted, (see excerpts from 
ICANN document below) ICANN Staffwill beworkingto scheduleindividual 
meetings with theimpacted requestingcommunities to discuss 
implementation ofanygrantedrequests.

Please read through the activities explanations and rationales below and 
let us know in which activities you are interested and want to 
participate as an implementation partner. Please make sure that you are 
specific with regard to which capacities you will be able to contribute. 
Please be also aware that the requests granted do not translate into 
cash grants and that those who are participating in one or more activity 
can only expect to be remunerated for their expenses and time.

Let us know your suggestions and input.
