[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Announcement] Call for CROPP proposals

[Rafik Dammak]

Dear NCUC members,

The Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program (CROPP)
<https://community.icann.org/display/croppfy16/Community+Regional+Outreach+Pilot+Program+%28CROPP%29-FY16+Home>
 allocates each constituency with funds for five travel slots to attend a
meeting/event. As the program name says, support is for outreach. We had
five slots for 2016; one has already been allocated to an NCUC member to
attend CPDP http://www.cpdpconferences.org/ in Brussels.

At the moment we have four opportunities for funding to attend
conferences/events and do NCUC outreach.

You are invited to send us proposals to get funded to attend a conference
that is related to Internet policy/governance and ICANN and civil society
work, and give us a concrete action plan on how you will do outreach for
NCUC. For example, this might be organizing a short 30 minute session at
the conference or if possible a side event. The deadline for submitting
CROPP requests  is March 15. If the EC does not receive enough or
satisfactory proposals the deadline will be extended.

Priority will go to  regions that have not been allocated CROPP. Especially
Africa, Asia-Pacific, South East Europe and Central Asia. However the main
priority is the quality of the proposal and how you will carry out
outreach.

Please note that the CROPP request should be received at least 8 weeks
prior to the conference or the event. If the event you are considering is
scheduled to be held in less than eight weeks from the date of receipt of
application, we might have difficulties accepting and processing the
request. Proposals for the target events should be within the timeframe of
2016 ICANN Fiscal Year, that is, the events should happen before 30th,
June, 2016.

The eligibility criteria:
1. Concrete outreach plan with a targeted audience.
2. Conferences that are related to ICANN and NCUC mission - They do not
have to be Internet related but can be related to for example transparency
of corporations or bottom up policy making. The relation to ICANN and NCUC
mission should be justified.

Participants are required to write a blogpost about the conference, and
to report on their outreach to the NCUC Executive Committee, giving any
leads to organizations and individuals who showed interest to join NCUC.

Best Regards,

Rafik

NCUC Chair
