80% of the CROPP-FY16 cycle elapsed, the number of approved travelers has
reached about half that level (42%). Part of the explanation for the lower
utilization rate so far this fiscal year may be attributable to the added
prerequisite in FY16 that each ICANN structure complete an Outreach Strategic
Plan. Those documents took somewhat longer to be drafted and approved by
individual communities than was initially envisioned. Hopefully, now that most
of them are completed, there will be new momentum in identifying outreach
events during the final stages of the FY16 program cycle.<u></u><u></u></font></span></p>

some evolution of the program – offering more flexibility where it seems
