Pilot Program Goals

Community leaders have outlined several key benefits that could be achieved through a programmed approach to global outreach:

  1. Building local/regional awareness and recruitment of new community members;
  2. More effectively engaging with current members and/or "reactivating” previously engaged ICANN community members; and
  3. Communicating ICANN’s mission and objectives to new audiences.

In recognition of the potential that such a regional outreach program could contribute to the ICANN community's continued growth and development, the FY17 Budget allocates resources and Staff has been directed to continue implementation and rigorous evaluation in order to assist in determining whether such resourced outreach merits support in future fiscal cycles.

(green star) NEW for FY17: A consolidated CROPP Procedures & Guidelines page explains the program's features, requirements, policies, principles, and roles/responsibilities.

The tables below contain a BRIEF orientation to CROPP outlining key steps to get started.  

What you should know at the outset: 

  1. There are two CROPP forms required for each Trip/Event. Each one starts as a DRAFT and, after applicable reviews, is APPROVED for further processing: 
    1. A DRAFT Trip Proposal (or) DRAFT Engagement Event Proposal (blank templates are available as explained in the next column)
    2. A DRAFT Trip/Event Assessment (complete <=3 weeks after returning)
  2. When planning a CROPP funded trip, there are two time-frames to consider:
    • Six (6) weeks for ICANN Constituency Travel (minimum requirement) from the date all approvals/confirmations have been obtained (Note: For Engagement Events, the minimum is 8 weeks).
    • How much time you anticipate needing to obtain internal organization approvals, regional Stakeholder Engagement concurrence, and Staff review for completeness. 
  3. Your designated Pilot Program Coordinator (PPC) can help with the process. Who is your PPC? See: CROPP Contacts
  4. To learn about the policies, rules, roles, and related information, go to: CROPP Procedures & Guidelines
  5. You may enter a DRAFT Proposals at any time, but your organization must have an approved Outreach Strategic Plan BEFORE your individual form can be processed.
