[gtld-council] PDP Dec 05: Follow-up to 23 June

[Liz Williams <liz.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Morning everyone

Thank you very much to everyone who participated in the meetings  
yesterday -- more progress has been made.
In follow-up discussions with other members of the implementation  
team, we thought it would be very beneficial if we could, during  
Thursday's meeting, stabilise the language in Recommendation 20.
From my notes as we were speaking, this is where I thought we got to.

"An application will [may?] be rejected if it is determined that  
there is substantial opposition to it from among established  
institutions of the economic sector, or cultural or language  
community [delete:  to which it is targeted or which it is intended  
to support]."
It would be very helpful, so that we can conduct ongoing  
implementation plans, if this language could be agreed during  
Thursday afternoon's meeting.
Further thoughts about the criteria for measuring "substantial" and  
"established" would also be helpful
Kind regards and thanks again to everyone.

Liz
