After testing a pilot outreach event capability in FY17, the CROP program will revert to focusing on regional travel for all eligible communities, rather than outreach events. All communities will be able to target five individual regional trips for FY18. GNSO Constituencies will have the option of targeting one out of region trip to maximize outreach opportunities within the five individual trips allocation.

FY18 Enhancements & Highlights

...

1. CROP - Core Activity

The pilot program label has been removed, and the CROP program has been moved to the Policy Development Support Team's core activities, coordinated by that staff in collaboration with the Global Stakeholder Engagement Team.

2. Funded Trips Standard Allocation

The CROP program will maintain all standard allocations for FY18 funded outreach trips for RALOs and Constituencies as  4-days and 3-nights standard for five (5) individual regional outreach trips.

3.  Expanded Option for GNSO Constituencies

CROP options have been reconfigured for GNSO Constituencies to offer additional flexibility in reaching strategic outreach goals, based on community input. For FY18, each GNSO Constituency will be able to include up to one (1) out of region trip within the five (5) trip allocations.

3.  Wiki Site Improvements
