Re: [gnso-igo-ingo-qc] RE: Qualification Group - Initial Draft - Please Comment

[Thomas Rickert <rickert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Group members,
thanks Kiran for sending the first version of the spreadsheet and Claudia for 
your additional remarks.

You are right, all arguments and proposed criteria should to into the 
spreadsheet to make it easier for the group to determine where it wants to go. 

I recollect that Evan also submitted criteria earlier to the list. I have 
copied those below:

What is the charitable status of the organization in the countries in which it 
operates?

What is the current incidence of fraudulent or misleading domains related to 
the organization?

Does the organization work and communicate directly to the public, or rather 
through affiliates, governments and partners?

Does the organization, or its subsidiaries, engage in ad-hoc domain creation to 
deal with unforeseen needs (ie, disaster relief)

Does the organiozation currently use a domain under .int?


May I ask you to try to put them (maybe rephrased to make it fit) into the 
spreadsheet and fill out the spreadsheet. I am sure that we will then have 
quite a good basis for our discussion tomorrow.

Thanks,
Thomas
