Opportunity to travel to events for outreach/inreach<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi everyone<br>
<br>
<br>
This is to inform you of opportunities for our members to travel to<br>
events and do outreach/inreach for NCUC through a program known as<br>
CROP (Community Regional Outreach Program).<br>
<br>
<br>
For those amongst you who are interested, kindly keep in mind that<br>
most of these trips must be regional; mainly in the continent where<br>
the member is based. Only one exception can be applied when the member<br>
is travelling in another continent, accordingly they can apply for<br>
that other continent where they are travelling through.<br>
<br>
<br>
Applications for the next year can be received anytime until April<br>
2018, and all the members who are interested in applying should write<br>
to NCUC Chair<br>
<br>
<a href="mailto:raquino@gmail.com" target="_blank">raquino@gmail.com</a> and <a href="mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org" target="_blank">maryam.bakoshi@icann.org</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Please see the rules below.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
What Does CROP Provide in FY18?<br>
<br>
<br>
Standard Travel Authorizations<br>
<br>
<br>
1. Trip Allocations (4 days, 3 nights maximum):<br>
<br>
a. Five (5) individual regional trips which may include one (1)<br>
out of region trip if necessary, allocated to GNSO Constituencies<br>
including: Business, Intellectual Property, Internet Services<br>
Provider, Non-Commercial Users, and Not-for-Profit Operational<br>
Concerns.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. Funded Costs/Expenses:<br>
<br>
Includes transportation (economy class), lodging, and per diem (4<br>
days, 3 nights maximum)<br>
<br>
<br>
3. Visa Fees & Registration Fees:<br>
<br>
Travellers will be reimbursed for visa fees (up to $200 USD) and for<br>
conference registration fees where applicable (up to $800 USD)<br>
<br>
<br>
4. Booking:<br>
<br>
All travel booked via ICANN Constituency Travel to ensure consistency,<br>
proper accounting, recordation, and tracking against budget.<br>
<br>
<br>
General Procedures<br>
<br>
• All trips and outreach activities must be completed before the<br>
end of ICANN's 2018 fiscal year. Traveling participants must have<br>
returned to their originating destination on or before 30 June 2018.<br>
<br>
• Minimum timeframes: An individual trip must be approved within<br>
the participant's organization/structure, including coordination with<br>
the applicable regional Stakeholder Engagement V.P. team a minimum of<br>
6-weeks prior to the proposed travel date. This 6-week period is the<br>
absolute minimum time and should not be considered a "best practice".<br>
Notice and planning with regional teams should take place as early as<br>
possible.<br>
<br>
• Travel may not be booked individually or through the event<br>
organizers. ICANN's Constituency Travel department will manage all<br>
travel booking and ensure that any financial outlays are optimized to<br>
the maximum extent possible.<br>
<br>
• A Trip Assessment must be completed for each outreach activity<br>
attended (within 3 weeks of returning). The assessment should clearly<br>
and specifically describe if/how the original purpose(s) and<br>
outcome(s) were realized as well as details of the event itself (who,<br>
what, where, when, and why).<br>
<br>
• Trips must originate and conclude within the same region and<br>
should, wherever practicable, be taken by someone working in or<br>
proximate to that territory. GNSO Constituencies may attend one out of<br>
region trip per fiscal year within the five trip allocations.<br>
<br>
• It will not be possible to support trip "compounding" or<br>
"splitting" of expenses or any other strategy with a goal of<br>
increasing the number of individual trips assigned to an organization.<br>
ICANN appreciates all reasonable efforts on the part of participants<br>
to minimize expenses; however, to properly manage this unique<br>
resource, each individual trip stands on its own and will require<br>
separate authorization and tracking.<br>
<br>
<br>
Submission form<br>
<br>
• All of those who wish to submit a proposal for the CROP must<br>
fill the following form:<br>
<br>
<br>
Name of Event<br>
<br>
Date<br>
<br>
How you plan to outreach for NCUC at the event?<br>
<br>
Why you think your application should be considered?<br>
<br>
• The timeline for submitting requests is critical and has to be<br>
submitted to us at least two months before the event. If you would<br>
like to suggest an event, please consider this timeline.<br>
