Dear Alberto, all Regrettably I have been ill for the past few days so I am now catching up with the various issues, I am unaware of any board decision made regarding the use and award of CROPP funds. The bottom line however is that the deadline for submission is June 30, 2024 and we have to move quickly so as to avoid losing the opportunity. I will suggest to Harold and the management team that we quickly develop a clear, transparent process that will facilitate the application and award of funds. I am going to recommend that the criteria for selection and award of funds be available to all members of the RALO along with the list of submissions. Hopefully this can be actioned soon after ICANN79 and therefore address all concerns raised. Regards Lance
