Objet : [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] JAS WG call 5 May

 

Dear all,

Action points from today’s call:

 

1.      FYI, Avri Doria and Evan Leibovitch were unanimously elected
co-chairs for the WG – congratulations! And thanks to Rafik for chairing the
launch phase!

 

2.      All to review and agree revised version of WG charter (see draft
text below, also on the wiki
https://st.icann.org/so-ac-new-gtld-wg/index.cgi ) - in time for handling at
GNSO Council and ALAC upcoming meetings at 20 and 25 May, respectively.

 

3.      Work will proceed in two work teams, for reviewing application fee
structure and for “Who and What” (identifying applicants in need of
support). Both work teams open for all, using the JAS WG mailing list and
the wiki (team headings and some documents/links have been put in the wiki
https://st.icann.org/so-ac-new-gtld-wg/index.cgi) 

 

4.      Co-chairs and staff will further consider call schedule and call
length, proposed agenda for upcoming calls and planning of activities at the
ICANN Brussels meeting.

 

I think that’s it – did I forget anything?

 

All the best

 

Olof

Revised draft charter as per 5 May

 

Preamble: The Joint SO/AC Working Group on New gTLD Applicant Support shall
evaluate and propose policy recommendations regarding specific support to
new gTLD applicants in justified cases. The working group expects to
identify suitable criteria for provision of such support, to identify
suitable support forms and to identify potential providers of such support.
However, there is no presumption that the outcome will imply any particular
governing structure. Accordingly, if the recommendations indicate that the
preferred solutions are of a voluntary nature, the criteria and other
provisions arrived at in line with the objectives below will solely serve as
advice to the parties concerned. The objectives are not listed in any
priority order. An overall consideration is that the outcomes of the WG
should not lead to delays of the New gTLD process.

 

Objective 1: To identify suitable criteria that new gTLD applicants must
fulfill to qualify for dedicated support. The criteria may be different for
different types of support identified in line with Objective 2 and 3 below.

 

Objective 2: To identify how the application fee can be reduced to
accommodate applicants that fulfill appropriate criteria to qualify for this
benefit.

 

Objective 3: To identify what kinds of support (e.g. technical assistance,
organizational assistance, financial assistance, fee reduction) and support
timelines (e.g. support for the application period only, continuous support)
are appropriate for new gTLD applicants fulfilling identified criteria.

 

Objective 4: To identify potential providers of the identified kinds of
support as well as appropriate mechanisms to enable support provisioning.

 

Objective 5: To identify conditions and mechanisms required to minimize the
risk of inappropriate access to support.
