[Chapter-delegates] Accepting Applications: Community Grants Programme - Reminder

[Ilda Simao ISOC]

I apologize for any cross posting.

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to remind you that the current round of applications closes in about a week, at midnight Pacific time on 10 September 2012 (aka 0700 UTC on 11 September).
 
If you have not submitted your project proposal, you may do so before the deadline.
 
When competing your application, make sure to:
-       precisely answer all the questions
-       strictly  follow the instructions in the budget area and complete it accordingly, e.g. it is not enough to complete the tables only with figures, a budget narrative is also required. (check our 			application sample)
-       request no more than 10,000.-USD
-       upload your letter(s) of support
 
For guidance you may review the application sample at
