This is an educated guess. I suspect two possible meanings here.
One is that that the CROP $50K can only be used in association
formal ICANN meetings (e.g. Panama, intersessionals), and not for
events like the one I helped deliver in Senegal two years ago. The
other (depending on who is entitled to qualify for CROP funding)
is like when ICANN itself sponsored outreach to the USC Annenberg
School for Communication and Journalism in L.A, during an
intersessional. In either case (or any case) I would expect the
funding to be shrinking based on ICANN's future budgetary
prospects. <br>
