Yeah, I am not a native speaker either, but "encourage" was the best I
could come up with at short notice.
"Allow" doesn't seem right either, because this has technically always
been "allowed".

Maybe "simplify" or "prefer" (though I prefer "prefer" out of those two).

Sounds good. I'll adapt the text in the proposal.

I'll add something here. Must have missed it when I filled out the template.

Sure. "Almost half" is an aspirational goal. Not the goal of the
proposal itself. I'll remove that.

Thanks again for your feedback. I sometimes struggle with technical
documents as a non-native speaker.
