Based on community comments received to the draft FY20 ICANN Budget and further consideration of the question of how to provide support to the community’s outreach efforts while remaining within appropriate budget limits, a sum of US$50,000 was allocated in the FY20 Budget for CROP. In line with the ICANN Board’s request that CROP guidelines and criteria should continue to meet the program goals in a cost-effective manner, while facilitating those FY20 community outreach efforts that are directly and demonstrably related to ongoing ICANN policy, technical and advisory activities, most of the features of CROP remain unchanged from FY19 to FY20.


WHAT HAS CHANGED FOR FY20 (these changes have been made based on community feedback, to facilitate clarity about the scope of the program):

  • 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 applicable period, starting with 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.
