<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Dear At Large RALO and GNSO Constituency Leaders:<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Following up on our recent 26 May update letter, we are pleased to report that the
<b>FY16</b> <b>Community Regional Outreach Pilot Program</b> (CROPP) <a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/P400Aw">
Wiki Space</a><span> </span>is now open and ready for business.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">As was true last year, CROPP provides a framework in which each of the At-Large RALOs and GNSO Non-Contract Constituencies will be allocated 5 regional (3-day) outreach trips. The specific processes and guidelines
for how these resources are to be made available are set forth on a redesigned <a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/ho40Aw">
CROPP Program Elements</a> page.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><font face="Calibri" size="3">FY16 Changes and Improvements<u></u><u></u></font></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><u>1. Standard Trip/Event Proposal and Assessment Templates</u><u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Wiki DRAFT templates and instructions are available in the CROPP
<a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/fY40Aw">Community Workspace</a> area, which contains a separate folder for
<a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/wY40Aw">At-Large RALO Drafts</a> and
<a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/RI80Aw">GNSO Constituency DRAFTS</a>. Once forms have been authorized by the leadership and confirmed by one of the organization’s designated Pilot Program Coordinator (PPC), they will be transferred by
the Program Staff to a separate “Approved Forms” area of the CROPP Wiki for subsequent processing, tracking, and management. As in the previous two years, all proposals and complete approved forms will be available for review by the entire ICANN community.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">2. <u>Outreach Strategic Plan Template</u><u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">For FY16, eligibility for the CROPP program will depend on the ability of each participating ICANN structure (i.e., RALO, GNSO Constituency) to create a brief, but clear,
<b>Outreach Strategic Plan </b>explaining its FY16 outreach goals and planned expectations so that any selected CROPP activities can be coordinated with the appropriate ICANN Regional Engagement teams. As explained in our previous email, GNSO Constituencies
will have the additional option, on a pilot basis, to select <u>either </u>(a) the five standard CROPP travel authorizations or (b) to host, co-host, or sponsor a targeted community Outreach/Engagement Event at one point during the fiscal year (US $10,000
target support limit).<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Although DRAFT Trip/Event Proposals can be created at any time, please note that no further action (e.g., travel booking) can be taken by staff until the Outreach Strategic Plan has been approved by the respective
organization’s leadership, delivered to the appropriate Regional Engagement Vice-President,
<u>and</u> published in the CROPP-FY16 Wiki Community Workspace.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">3. <u>Engagement Event Template</u><u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">This template is new for GNSO Constituencies that elect to take advantage of this option in lieu of the standard (5) Trip allocations. Blank templates will be created in the
<a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/RI80Aw">GNSO Constituency DRAFTS</a> area once selections have been registered via the Outreach Strategic Plan.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">4. <u>Improved Wiki Site Navigation</u><u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">We have introduced two ways to find material on the Wiki:<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0.75in;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">· Use the left expandable navigation menu which has been simplified from last cycle; or<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0.75in;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">· On the
<a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/P400Aw"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">CROPP-FY16 Home Page</span></a>, there is a new Site Navigation Guide table divided into two sections: (left column) the Templates/Forms to
be completed and (right column) various Topics/Keywords and where that material can be found.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">5. <u>Expanding our Team</u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3"><u><br>
</u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">To help improve our CROPP support, Benedetta Rossi and Ozan Sahin have joined Ken Bour on our Staff team to help all of you with maintaining the Wiki space, managing the various CROPP proposals and tracking
the progress of travel and meeting activities. We hope this will smooth program operations during our final “pilot” year of this effort.
<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Your continued feedback now and throughout the course of the pilot program will help us identify further areas of improvement, flag issues we may not have anticipated, and demonstrate that this type of program
can meet its goals and objectives.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">We invite you to browse through the Wiki space and email us (at
<a target="_blank" href="mailto:robert.hoggarth@icann.org">robert.hoggarth@icann.org</a> and
<a target="_blank" href="mailto:janice.lange@icann.org">janice.lange@icann.org</a>) with any of your thoughts, comments or questions on specific aspects of the FY16 program. Provisions have also been made to capture your input on our
<a target="_blank" href="https://community.icann.org/x/go40Aw">CROPP Feedback</a> page. Also, we will both be in Buenos Aires for ICANN 53 and happy to talk with you about the FY16 version of the program.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font><u></u></p>
