[governance] NetMundial funding - information requested

[Baudouin Schombe]

Hello Parminder,

the process was as follows:

1.Registration online NetMundial; in the online form, it was asked, among
other things if candidate needed a partial or total load;
1.2 Once registration is approved,  secretrariat of NetMundial has notified
 candidates.;
3.Secretariat has NetMundial then sent a link to the visa application;
4.It is at this stage that the secretariat requires the booking of  hotel
by applicant and receives information about support for the stay in Sao
Paolo during the summit.
4. it is also at this stage that the secretariat sent a form for
resrevation flight. It is also at this time that the travel ICANN
constituency contacted the candidate.

So, the whole process of funding support is coordinated and managed by
NetMundial secretariat.

> I request early information on the above since the person who has asked
