NPOC CROP PLAN FY'18 Overview

Outreach and Engagement Plan for FY18


1.0 Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns (NPOC)

NPOC, is the constituency responsible of educating and engaging not-for-profit and non-governmental

organizations to participate in ICANN’s policy making processes, how ICANN operates, and how

policies can affect how they deliver their mission related services. Specific operational concerns

include the ability to register and maintain domain names, protect against fraud and abuse, and to

ensure security and privacy whilst using the Domain Name System (DNS) in order to serve members

and communities.

Many not-for-profits are unaware of the risk that they face in the domain names system and the lack of

protection under the existing Registrar Accredited Agreement. NPOC’s role is to provide the

information on how not for profits can become involved by learning about the ICANN ecosystem and

NPOC to be able to contribute their knowledge and participate in the policy development process. The

information will be provided through a) outreach; b) the website, and webinars. NPOC, in its

representation as the voice of this Constituency will communicate through the ways mentioned above

and encourage new and existing members to become a valued participant in the ICANN ecosystem to

build a strong voice together.
