> Dear At Large RALO and GNSO Constituency Leaders;****
> ** **
> The recently approved ICANN FY14 Operating Plan and Budget<http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-27aug13-en.htm>(FY14 OPP) includes some expanded resources for outreach and
> capacity-building efforts by your communities. The purpose of this note is
> to alert you to the availability of one of those resources, to invite you
> to learn more, and to ask you to partner with Staff to effectively deliver
> that resource to your communities over the remainder of FY14.****
> ** **
> The ICANN Board and Senior Staff recognized in the FY14 OPP that, while
> organization-wide efforts are still underway to develop a comprehensive
> ICANN outreach strategy, it is important to give individual communities
> some immediate flexible support to start or continue targeted outreach
> efforts that support specific community outreach or recruitment strategies.
> ****
> ** **
> In an effort to provide that support as soon as possible and to test
> whether such a resource can be effectively and consistently managed on an
> organization-wide basis, staff was directed to develop – as a pilot program
> - a community regional outreach trip program to be made available to
> regional At-Large organizations and non-contract GNSO constituencies.****
> ** **
> Recognizing that the formal FY14 OPP was approved almost two months into
> the fiscal year, staff has worked hard over the last several weeks to
> develop a pilot program framework that is “implementable” in the short term
> and “assessable” over the long term. A detailed overview of this new *Community
> Regional Outreach Pilot Program (CROPP)* is attached for your review and
> we have created a new wiki workspace to administer the program at
> https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=41900609 .   ****
> ** **
> In according with the FY14 OPP directive to Staff, the CROPP provides a
> framework in which each of the 5 At Large RALOS and each of the 5 GNSO
> non-contract Constituencies will have available 5 "regional" (three-day)
> outreach trips in FY14. The specific processes for how these resources are
> to be made available are set forth in the attached overview document and in
> the wiki workspace. Three critical components of the program include (1)
> specific pre-trip approval standards (flexibly administered by your
> community leadership and ICANN Regional Vice Presidents), (2) post-trip
> reviews and assessments and (3) an overall spirit of transparency by which
> all ICANN community members can observe the implementation of the program.
> ****
> ** **
> We invite you to read through the attached overview document, review the
> “developing” wiki space and email us (at Robert.hoggarth at icann.org and
> Janice.lange at icann.org) with any of your thoughts, comments or questions
> on specific aspects of the program.
>
> Staff will be hosting two group calls for anyone interested in talking
> through the program in real-time on Tuesday October 1 at 1300 UTC and 1900
> UTC (specific call details to follow) and we welcome participation from you
> or other community representatives. We are also happy to have separate
> calls with each of you to discuss the program. Recordings and transcripts
> of the two group calls will be posted on the wiki space for all to review
> and the wiki will have commenting capabilities to capture more feedback.
>
> We are producing the attached overview document in all 6 UN languages
> (targeted availability next week and posted on the wiki) and we also hope
> to have full plug-in translation capabilities on the wiki space available
> as well. We expect to produce a “Frequently Asked Questions” page on the
> wiki so that all will benefit from individual questions that are asked, and
> we are planning to schedule training for program users in early October as
> well. ****
> ** **
> *If all goes as planned, we hope to launch the CROPP on Wednesday, 9
> October*.  Your feedback now and throughout the course of the next eight
> months will help us identify areas of improvement, flag issues we have not
> anticipated and demonstrate whether this type of program can meet its
> objectives, be administered and implemented effectively and perhaps merit a
> longer-term budget commitment.****
> ** **
> We are looking forward to collaborating with you all on this effort!****
