3 - All travel requires preparation, it’s the same with CROP!

Please ensure you have read and fully understood the below documents before starting upon your CROP trip request.

 

To help you along:

Travel costs are provided under ICANN's Community Travel Support Guidelines as follows:

  • Airfare (most economical routing in Economy Class)

  • Hotel accommodation for a maximum of 4 days/3 nights

  • Per diem allowance for a maximum of 4 days

  • Reimbursable costs such as visa fees (actual cost or a maximum of US$200, whichever is less)

Non-reimbursable costs include:

  • Business or first class airfare

  • Travel and medical insurance

ICANN will not be providing you with any other support for your travel. Because you are voluntarily attending an event, you are advised to acquire appropriate travel and medical insurance coverage. This coverage is not being provided by ICANN and you are not being facilitated as an ICANN Funded Traveler (Travelers who are funded to attend events that are organized by ICANN) for CROP trips.
