Dear stakeholder, On behalf of ICANN Brussels team, I would like to thank you for participating at the ICANN Brussels briefing. We appreciate you for taking the time and effort to be here and hope you had a good occasion to learn, network and exchange ideas, we certainly did! We would like to apologize for the remote participants that experienced constant cut-downs, unfortunately and despite the best efforts of our IT staff, the hotel network went down soon after the meeting started. You can find the presentations from the meeting, as well as information on the Engagement Strategy for Europe and on the upcoming Survey at the ICANN Community Wiki space https://community.icann.org/display/gseeuropewkspc/ICANN+Engagement+Strateg… Do not hesitate to use the Wiki to post your comments, impressions and any feedback on the briefing and the IESE.

CROPP - 5 trips for each RALO before 30 June 2014
by Oksana Prykhodko Dec. 18, 2013

Dec. 18, 2013

Dear all, I would like to share with you the results of yesterday's briefing on CROPP, organized by Olivier and Dev. According to this pilot project, each RALO has possibility to apply for 5 individual trips for regional events (travel expenses, 3 days/2 nights per trip, per diem) for ICANN outreach purposes. https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/42734957/Overview-Communit… https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/43987386/CROPP-Briefing-Se… That is why I propose to pick up the most important European regional IG events in the first half of 2014 year, and to call for expression of interest to participate in it. Of course first of all it's EuroDIG. Sandra, Wolf - could you please let us know asap who from EURALO will be supported from other sources of financing to participate in EuroDIG? And who else is interested to participate in it? One more regional IG event will be ENOG 7 / RIPE NCC Regional Meeting in Moscow (26-27 May). http://www.enog.org/ As far as I understand, it will be no conflict of interests, if I, as a member of CROPP, will also apply for such trip (I would be extremely happy to receive travel support for EuroDIG, and I hope to receive EURALO approval for this my application). Christopher, what about Digital Agenda for Europe? Such applications have to be submitted 8 weeks before the event, and have to be approved by RALO. https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Form+to+submit+travel+requests+… Please send us your expression of interest and information about other European IG events asap. Best regards, Oksana

by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Dec. 10, 2013

Dec. 10, 2013

Dear All, ICANN has launched a Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program (CROPP) in which each of the 5 RALOs can apply for funding up to 5 "regional" outreach trips (up to three days, two nights) before the end of June 30 2014 (the end of Fiscal Year 2014). Similar to how RALO budget requests were reviewed by the ALAC Finance & Budget SubCommittee (FBSC) before submitting to ICANN Finance, an At-Large CROPP Review Team (CROPP RT) was established by the ALAC to: * review and approve RALO travel requests to the CROPP to ensure that the objectives of the travel requests are in line with ICANN’s strategic and regional engagement strategies as well as At-Large outreach strategies. * confirm with the relevant regional Stakeholder Engagement Vice Presidents that the purpose/goals of the travel request are consistent with ICANN’s strategic and regional engagement strategy. * submit the travel requests to ICANN once approved by the CROPP RT. RALOs should note the following terms and obligations as established by the ICANN's CROPP and those by the ALAC at https://community.icann.org/x/zC6fAg RALO leaders in coordination with their RALO's members of the Outreach SubCommittee (https://community.icann.org/x/cqfbAQ) wanting to submit travel requests are expected to complete the travel request form at https://community.icann.org/x/_S6fAg There will be an At-Large Briefing Session to discuss the CROPP and the process by which At-Large Travel Requests are sent to the At-Large CROPP Review Team. Please complete the Doodle at http://doodle.com/puf95pud2etkh52b by 1600 UTC on Wednesday December 11 2013 to select the date and time for this conference call.
