If there are any requests for travel to events for outreach purposes, such requests need to be submitted to the At-Large CROPP Review Team at https://community.icann.org/x/_S6fAg at least 8 weeks before the proposed travel takes place. Travel Requests should follow the terms and obligations as established by the ICANN's CROPP and those by the ALAC at https://community.icann.org/x/zC6fAg To date, EURALO, AFRALO and NARALO have submitted travel requests to the CROPP RT.
