Re: [AFRI-Discuss] FY25 Community Regional Outreach Program (CROP) Launches
by hadia Elminiawi May 29, 2024

May 29, 2024

Dear AFRALO members, I am writing to share with you that the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Community Regional Outreach Program (CROP) space is now ready for our use. We will need to collaboratively work with our regional Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) team to develop Outreach Strategic Plans for FY25. The following aspects of CROP will continue to apply for FY25: - *Applicable geographic regions and countries within regions* – ICANN organization believes that it will allow for greater clarity as well as community flexibility in many cases to use the GSE list of countries and regions <https://drive.google.com/file/d/14seX2l_Gq5rE97gbr38i1EuUbKRZ5GHl/view?usp=…>, rather than the less detailed listing of official ICANN Public Meeting regions. - Reimbursement for * conference registration fees* – while the general rule remains that conference registration fees are not part of CROP funding, for FY25, the ICANN organization has created *a limited exception* for cases where senior staff approval has been sought, obtained, and documented. - Using *1 out of 3 trip allocations to an ICANN Public Meeting or ICANN-organized event* – for FY25, any 1 out of the 3 trip allocations can be used to an ICANN Public Meeting or an ICANN-organized event (if one is taking place in the applicable region). The ICANN organization hopes this will provide the ICANN community with greater flexibility in planning their FY25 strategic outreach activities. - *7-week deadline* for trip requests – Trip proposals are due to the CROP administrator seven weeks before the start date of the proposed trip. Concurrence from the relevant GSE regional vice president is due at least six weeks before the start date of the proposed trip. The FY25 CROP space can be found here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Guq_QTzRajIHn2SPDqa0rJp6w8ybNRVqGh5nt6R…>. We will need to work on our Strategic Plans as soon as possible so that we can start submitting our FY25 CROP trip requests. I would like to suggest we give this topic a priority in our upcoing monthly call and I hope you can allocate some time to check the above information and make use of it. At-Large RALOs Workspace <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zc-GFy2mfPUCcsIw5C9iNiHUDeYVRTelOpjqT24…> Kind regards Hadia Elminiawi AFRALO Chair
