CROP-FY21

Travel Guidance For FY21 

Please note the existing travel guidance from ICANN org in light of the COVID-19 pandemic remains in effect.

There is no travel support through 31 December 2020.

ICANN org will continue to reassess the situation and will update its travel guidance as global public health conditions permit. The CROP Support Team encourages the ICANN community to stay informed about the most current global travel limitations. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly disrupted access and transit worldwide.

The FY21 CROP workspace provides information and helpful reminders about the processes and procedures for safe and successful CROP trips should the opportunities exist in the future.

What Has Changed For FY21? 

There are no changes in FY21. The following changes were made in FY20 and continues in this fiscal year:

• Determining whether a specific country is within an applicable geographical region will be done in accordance with the list of countries and geographic regions currently used by ICANN org’s Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) team, and not the ICANN meeting regions - click here to see the full GSE list of countries and regions. 
• While the rule that at least 1 out of 3 allocated trips must be to either an ICANN Public Meeting or ICANN-organized meeting taking place in the applicable region, this no longer needs to be the first CROP trip for the FY (i.e. any 1 out of the 3 allocated trips may fulfill this rule).
• While conference registration fees will not generally be funded, a limited exception has been created that requires approval from the Vice-President for Strategic Community Operations, Planning and Engagement (SCOPE) in consultation with the relevant regional GSE Vice-President.
• Instead of a “5 working days plus 6 weeks” deadline for trip proposals and bookings, the last day for submitting a trip proposal is now seven (7) weeks from the commencement date of the proposed trip. However, concurrence from the relevant GSE regional Vice-President must still be obtained at least six (6) weeks before the trip commencement date.
