ICANN supports community members attending ICANN Public Meetings to advance policy development and other work. As part of this, ICANN provides travel support for a limited number of ccNSO selected recipients. The ccNSO Travel Support Guideline documents the application process, the eligibility criteria, and the selection process for ccNSO-supported travelers.
What are the requirements for applicants?
The goal of the ccNSO Travel Support is to provide travel funding to a limited number of ccNSO community members who are expected to make significant contributions during the meeting for which they seek travel funding, or who the Travel Support Committee want to encourage to participate more broadly.
What is included?
The number of travel support slots for the ccNSO is defined in ICANN's yearly budget. Currently, the ccNSO has 17 slots in total.
A travel slot comprises one or more of three main categories of travel expenses: an economy class ticket to the travel destination; accommodation for the approved duration of the trip; and meals and other incidental expenses. Allocations in the three categories may be split among supported travelers, provided that the total allocation for all three categories amounts to one complete funded travel slot.

ccNSO Travel Support Committee
The ccNSO Travel Support Committee, a subcommittee of the ccNSO Council, oversees the application process, assesses the applications and selects the ccNSO-supported travelers for each ICANN Public Meeting. The committee determines the key dates for application submissions and evaluations, which are in line with the deadlines provided by ICANN Travel Support and other operational requirements by ICANN org
