Fwd: [cropp-rt] NARALO Trip Proposal #1
by Darlene Thompson Dec. 19, 2013

Dec. 19, 2013

Hi all, As part of the CROPP RT, it is my job to bring all CROPP requests to the region along with any concerns/suggestions. I would ask that you review the below and get back to the group with and concerns/suggestions that you might have. This request will then be moved along unless there is any major push-back on the entire idea. You will see that some suggestions have already been made. Thanks!

That will take time, though, so a first step with a CROPP request is pretty good to introduce people to each other.

November Nomcom Report
by Glenn McKnight Dec. 19, 2013

Dec. 19, 2013

Hi All I have enclosed the November report for NOMCOM. Please note the NOMCOM 2014 team will start accepting nominations starting in December . Which is NOW. It's a four month recruitment window. As history has shown people are slow at submitting their SOI's. I encourage all the prospective candidates to serious consider their applications and avoid submitting a generic resume but take the time to analyze the ICANN board composition and it's mandate. The extra effort to research and make your personal achievements be relevant will help the evaluators. My replacement is Louis Houle and I am confident he will do a great job. It was my pleasure working for two years with a great team and it gave me a wonderful opportunity to met the diverse communities in the ICANN ecosystem.

Dear Yubelkys, ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is pleased to inform you that (185) Hispanic Educational Technology Services (HETS) been certified as an At-Large Structure (ALS). The ALAC greatly appreciates your group's interest in involving individual users in ICANN and looks forward to working with you and your colleagues.

The ALAC is eager to promote a productive working relationship between your organization, other ALS, and the ALAC (and ICANN in general), and your input on how we can make this a success would be greatly appreciated. We would like to offer some initial tools to help your organization keep its members informed (about significant news from ICANN and information on ICANN policy-development efforts) and engaged in activities of interest: - Point of Contact for your Organisation: Please send an email to <mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> staff(a)atlarge.icann.org identifying the names and email addresses of one or two individuals who will be the point of contact for information and correspondence regarding ICANN At-Large.

Submitting At-Large Travel Requests for ICANN's Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program (CROPP)
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.
