[NCUC-DISCUSS] Extension: CROPP - Get funded for a conference and ncuc outreach

[Arun Mohan Sukumar]

Folks, here's a shameless plug for CyFy 2016 - hope some of our members
from Asia this year are able to make it to New Delhi through CROPP support.
We would be delighted to host an NCUC meeting in New Delhi since there is
now substantial membership from India and South Asia, and many active
members are likely to be in attendance.

In the event CROPP funds are available for participants to attend CyFy,
please apply! CyFy.org (October 5-7, 2016)

Best,
Arun

>>
>> Members from Asia Pacific,  you can submit a request to go to AprIGF or

>> do outreach for NCUC.  Your proposal can also include attendance at a
>> workshop but you have to bear in mind that you need to do outreach.
>>
>> Members from Europe especially South East Europe: you can ask for funding
>> to go to SEEDIG to hold a session, target a group for outreach etc.
>>
>> Members from Africa :you can go to Africa Internet Summit.  Remember it
>> is required that you have a plan for outreach and a session or a target
>> group to talk to about NCUC.
>>
>> Members from Latin America, you can go to CIVICUS.
>> http://civicus.org/ICSW/
>>
>> As to North America,  I was wondering if USA IGF would be a good target
>> meeting, however as it will be held in July I don't think we can allocate
>> CROPP to it. Hence, please those members from North America, step forward
>> and suggest a potential conference that is worth going and suitable for
>> NCUC outreach.
>>
>> These are all suggestions,   you can request for CROPP for any other
>> conference in any other region, and then EC decides. This was just to give
>> you a couple of examples.
>>
>> Please bear in mind that we need proposals for outreach, the intention to
>> attend a conference is not enough justification.
>>
>> Look forward to your proposals.

>> 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.
