I'm excited this is taking shape. Thanks again Ines for the first draft, I
will make more suggestions on it as I research on the topic.
I notice the AIS has not issued a call for proposal yet, so we still don't
know the info required. However, there's no harm in preparing drafts
earlier as it will give us more time to discuss on our participation at the
event.
@Arsene, you mentioned about our strategy and I remember there is a
document developed by Afralo. Is it possible we follow up on it and see how
we can work together with the GSE , Afralo as NCUC Africa members?
Also, I had some initial thoughts on outreach that I would also like
member's input. I think our outreach will also be effective if we cover
issues of general participation by African civil societies. Here' the draft
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-c6tsMtWCxBDHtbFL9OsGy6Uuz1rzpx2qpgARR4SQbg/edit?usp=sharing
If you would like to participate as a speaker, please let me and Ines know
or add your name to the docs.

>>>> to their originating destination on or before 30 June 2018.
>>>>
>>>> • Minimum timeframes: An individual trip must be approved within
>>>> the participant's organization/structure, including coordination with the
>>>> applicable regional Stakeholder Engagement V.P. team a minimum of 6-weeks
>>>> prior to the proposed travel date. This 6-week period is the absolute
>>>> minimum time and should not be considered a "best practice". Notice and
>>>> planning with regional teams should take place as early as possible.
>>>>
>>>> • Travel may not be booked individually or through the event
>>>> organizers. ICANN's Constituency Travel department will manage all travel
>>>> booking and ensure that any financial outlays are optimized to the maximum
>>>> extent possible.
>>>>
>>>> • A Trip Assessment must be completed for each outreach activity
>>>> attended (within 3 weeks of returning). The assessment should clearly and
>>>> specifically describe if/how the original purpose(s) and outcome(s) were
>>>> realized as well as details of the event itself (who, what, where, when,
>>>> and why).
>>>>
>>>> • Trips must originate and conclude within the same region and
>>>> should, wherever practicable, be taken by someone working in or proximate
>>>> to that territory. GNSO Constituencies may attend one out of region trip
>>>> per fiscal year within the five trip allocations.
>>>>
>>>> • It will not be possible to support trip "compounding" or
>>>> "splitting" of expenses or any other strategy with a goal of increasing the
>>>> number of individual trips assigned to an organization. ICANN appreciates
>>>> all reasonable efforts on the part of participants to minimize expenses;
>>>> however, to properly manage this unique resource, each individual trip
>>>> stands on its own and will require separate authorization and tracking.
>>>>
>>>> Submission form
>>>>
>>>> • All of those who wish to submit a proposal for the CROP must
>>>> fill the following form:
>>>>
>>>> Name of Event
>>>>
>>>> Date
>>>>
>>>> How you plan to outreach for NCUC at the event?
>>>>
>>>> Why you think your application should be considered?
>>>>
>>>> • The timeline for submitting requests is critical and has to be
>>>> submitted to us at least two months before the event. If you would like to
>>>> suggest an event, please consider this timeline.
