[bestbits] Fwd: Funding available for UK stakeholders

[Lea Kaspar]

Dear all,

In case of interest, please see below a call from the UK government
offering to fund UK-based charitable groups interested in attending the
upcoming WSIS consultations in NY. If you are planning to apply and need a
MAGIG-sponsor, let me know (seeing as I'm on the MAGIG).

Also, seems like it's OK to forward, so please do so if you know UK groups
that might be interested.

Warm wishes,
Lea

Subject: Funding available for UK stakeholders

Dear all,

A small amount of money has become available to fund UK stakeholders, who
would not otherwise be able to go, to attend the WSIS meetings in New York
on 19-22 October.



There is a light-touch application process for this. The criteria are as
follows:


*Eligibility** criteria:*


   -
*Charitable/not for profit organisations  *
   -
*Would not otherwise be attending *
   -
*UK-based  *

*Assessment criteria:*


   -
*Level of engagement and effectiveness to date in contributing to
   international debates on WSIS issues *
   - *Support from member(s) of UK MAGIG *

If you are interested, please send an application based on these five
criteria, demonstrating how you meet them. We will then consider all
applications which meet the eligibility criteria, making a judgment against
the assessment criteria.


We would ask you to submit applications to Ffion Thomas (
Ffion.Thomas at Culture.gov.uk) by 12pm on Wednesday the 7th October and we
will respond by Friday 9th. Please could you also say how much funding you
are applying for.



We would encourage you to pass this information on to any other
organisations who might be interested. If you would like to discuss this
further, please don't hesitate to contact me.



Looking forward to seeing you all on the 12th of October for our next MAGIG
meeting at 100 Parliament Street.

Sarah Taylor
