class="">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Draft_FOSS4G_Travel_Grants#Preface</a>
with some thoughts and additions.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We need to get moving if we are gong to
give applicants a chance to apply etc in time for
the conference. Here is a quick summary that could
form the basis of an announcement:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none;
padding: 0px;" class="">
<div class=""><b class="">OSGeo invites applications
for its Travel Grant Program for FOSS4G 2017</b></div>
<div class=""><b class=""><br class="">
</b></div>
<div class="">The 2017 Travel Grant Program (TGP)
will offer support to between 6 and 8 delegates
to attend FOSS4G in Boston. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The TGP will provide </div>
<div class="">1) A Full Conference Pass (including
attendance at workshops?) and access to social
events</div>
<div class="">2) An accommodation and meals
allowance of $750 for 5 days attendance or $1,000
for 7 days attendance</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Applicants will need to confirm that
they can fund the costs of travel and that they
have a valid visa for entry to the US when
submitting an application. Conference passes and
accommodation allowances will only be issued to
TGP recipients once evidence of travel tickets and
visas has been provided.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The TGP selection criteria will
prioritise applicants from Low or Lower-Middle or
Upper-Middle economies as defined by the World
Bank at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519"
class="">https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Applicants should submit their
application via [create a simple Google Form]
detailing their experience of Open Source Geo and
past activity, explaining why they wish to be
considered for a grant and outlining the benefits
that they and their employers will receive from
their attendance.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Applications should be submitted by
19th June. Decisions will be notified on 26th June</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If the Boston LOC are willing to make
conference passes available for $500 we would be
able to make at least 1 and possibly 2 more
grants. We also need clarity on whether workshop
attendance would eb included with those passes -
personally i think workshop attendance will be a
key benefit for TGP recipients.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I suggest we get 3-5 volunteers from
ConfComm to evaluate applications. They can agree
the precise criteria that they will apply, the
extent to which the applicants letter/statement
will score and how they will choose between
closely ranked applications (subject to the broad
criteria on the wiki).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hope this helps</div>

The board has done our bit with

Speaking for myself (not OSGeo or

if we stick with early bird discount
pricing to avoid setting a
complicated precedent for subsequent
events to follow. <br class="">
<br class="">
If the LOC is feeling confident you
can donate or credit the travel
grant program an appropriate amount.

I know on the books it looks the
same, but this way we allow the
travel grants to reach more people
this year while avoiding setting a
moving target for fundraising.<br
