Three quick small comments:
1. I don't think there is any thought about applicants not being able to
re-apply in subsequent rounds. As noted, some applicants learn from both
their rejections and access to the proposals of those who were funded.
2. The policies for handling subsequent proposals from successful
applicants need to be thought through carefully, and be made clear from
the start. Some funding sources have a two-stage funding process built
in, wherein a successful preliminary project has specified access to a
second level project proposal window, but no assurance of funding.
Others do not, and expect successful projects to look elsewhere for
subsequent funding, or to reapply with no preferential treatment.
3. Maureen Hilyard writes: "/I really do not think it is our job to
tell people how to rewrite their proposals so they can reapply. (Will
there even be a chance to reapply?) If we want to provide grant writing
help, we should make that part of the //plan and not confuse it with the
grant evaluation/." As one of those who proposed some training or
orientation for applicants, I agree with her here. I would like to see
some open access training materials used to help make clear what the
ICANN auction funds Calls for Proposals should have to constitute a
relevant and adequately constructed application for funding. This would
assist those writing the proposals, be they those who will execute the
project, or those retained to assist with proposal writing.

> Once a call is closed no one can apply to that particular call, but I have never heard of a grants program that does not allow organizations that were not successful to apply for future rounds of funding. They should be able to re-apply, as there is no plan to allocate all auction proceeds in one go. As long as the criteria is met, that should not be an issue.

That is done by most large donors to support scale-up and achieve impact for a solution that works, or to support organizations that are done really well on their reporting and outcomes, as impact takes time. But that is -again- a different subject. That is particularly important with large organizations such as universities, where funding can go to one department/faculty once and then to a different one in the future.
