This will be a total of 18 travel slots, 3 for each of the following groups: NCSG, BC, IPC, ISPCPC, NCUC and NPOC. Consistent with the ICANN Travel Guidelines, each community has the flexibility to assign and subdivide (hotel, airfare, etc) those travels slots to any members of their respective communities.

A number of communities sought travel funding for various outreach and capacity building purposes in FY14. In order to provide resources in a consistent and well-managed manner, on a pilot basis ICANN is creating a Community Outreach Travel Pilot Program. As part if this program, the FY14 budget will allocate travel funding for each of the 5 At Large RALOS and the 5 GNSO Non-Contract community Constituencies. Funding will be available to each community for 5 "regional" outreach trips per year. The specific processes for how these resources are to be made available are still to be defined and established through collaboration between ICANN staff and the community. Critical components of the program will need to include specific pre-trip approval standards (including the processing of a short request form showing consistency of the trip with regional strategies developed by the community), record keeping to track all trips, and metrics to assess the effectiveness of this pilot effort. Staff will initiate that collaboration after the ICANN Public Meeting in Durban. | $75,000 | |
