<div>I can guess what the rationale is. "Given the stabilising budget there is a need to prioritise what work within ICANN’s mission gets done" would be how I imagine they’d respond... I don’t think we are going to get much detail than that
unfortunately. So how do we counter this? Would love to hear some ideas on how we ‘sell’ CROP. My first attempt is in the proposed Budget comment but we might need something to wrap up for the SCBO and other fora. </div>

<div dir="auto">We should demand a full rational for that decision and as a community express our support and usefulness of that program, specially the benefit/cost that we have already raised. Maybe even explain what the cut will be mean for us as a way of explaining
beyond doubt why are we so concerned.

<div dir="auto">This indeed is a bad news for CROP to be dropped from the budget. I agree that we need to do whatever we can to have it reconsidered.

<div>I am not sure what other actions can be taken apart from strongly making our case heard in our comment. Maybe if community members from other groups as well speak out about this?</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>Can we work on rallying many voices to ours? If we get to convince the GNSO Council and add a discussion point in the next Council call, maybe we can make a statement? Is there any plan from within the SCBO, Ayden?

<div>Well, we have the bad news. No CROP is budgeted for FY19.

<div>In my opinion we need to be careful with this resource for the remainder of FY18 to show that we use it responsibly, for a purpose, and have results. I believe that this will strengthen our case in our comment for
its continuation.
