Info

Program Guidelines:

It is important to understand that ICANN's intention with this pilot program is to fund individual trips to specific events for the purposes of conducting outreach. No money is being granted or allocated to any structure or organization, only a fixed number trips within the 2014 fiscal year. The following rules will apply for the duration of this pilot:

  1. Any single outreach event may be attended by multiple persons; however, each one is considered an individual trip each requiring a separate Travel Request Form.
  2. If an approved trip is voided or cancelled for some unanticipated and extraordinary reason, a new Travel Request will be issued to the affected organization.

2)    Funded Costs/Expenses: includes airfare (economy), lodging, and $50 USD per diem (3 days, 2 nights standard).

  1. .
  2. Travel may not be booked individually or through the event organizers; ICANN's internal travel department will ensure that financial outlays are optimized to the maximum extent possible.
  3. For this pilot program, it will not be possible to support trip "compounding" or "splitting" of expenses or any other strategy with a goal of increasing the number of trips assigned to an organization. While ICANN appreciates all reasonable efforts on the part of participants to minimize expenses, each individual trip stands on its own and requires separate authorization and tracking.
  4. All trips must be completed before the end of ICANN's 2014 fiscal year, that is, the participant must have returned to his/her originating destination on or before 30 June 2014. If the program is continued in a succeeding year, at ICANN's discretion, any pilot trip allocated but not taken will not carry over.
  5. Each organization is responsible for appointing 1-2 Pilot Program Coordinators whose responsibility will be:
    1. Facilitate and manage travel pre-approvals within the organization and region, if applicable.
    2. Once approvals have been obtained, complete the online Wiki Travel Request Form for subsequent processing on behalf of each traveler to the event/conference.
    3. Ensuring that an alternate is identified for each traveler in the event that some unanticipated condition prevents the originally identified person from completing the trip.
