Hi Zakir,

CROP proposals are selected by the EC to conduct outreach inside a region. There were 5 CROP slots for FY18, one had the possibility to be out of region.

We have 5 regions: LAC, AP, AF, EU, NA.
CROPS inregion were received for LAC, AF, EU, NA (1 CROP Out of region was received)

So we have had no candidates for CROP AP this year.

CROP proposal is granted only when approved by EC. That can happen soon to the before mentioned candidates.
As you know there is a budget comment going on and CROP is at risk. However, there will be other opportunities for events in AP and NCUC will share them with members.

Fundraised and sponsored opportunities are always a challenge to civil society but we work hard to always find ways to help our members participate more.

Thanks,

Elsa--

Hi Elsa, Thank you. Yes this definitely is a great opportunity for our our colleagues from the APAC region. 

We also have the CROP funding at ICANN which too provides an opportunity for folk. This just came to my mind after look into the CROP update on the NCUC-discuss list. 

thanks again.

Best, 
Zakir

Hey all,
Sharing this opportunity that could be of interest to those of us who are in India, Japan, or South Korea: 
Google is offering travel and conference grants for selected conferences in Computer Science related fields.
They have specific asks of each country applicant and a specific amount to be offered as well based on the country. For more details on the project, follow this link: https://edu.google.com/ scholarships/google-travel- and-conference-grants/#! overview
Our presence in conferences would be extremely encouraged so let me know if I can be of any help to those of you who are interested in this opportunity.
Best,
Elsa Saade______________________________ _________________
