Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] JAS WG call 20 July - follow up

[Andrew Mack <amack@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Thanks for a very good and very frank call yesterday.  I know that we have a 
lot 
of hard work still to do, but I do think we're making progress.

Two immediate action I'd like to recommend:

1) To move forward with our documentation, PLEASE follow Elaine's lead and send 
us your questions.  Especially for WT2 this will be helpful, since we are doing 
a lot of thinking about things like how we can choose recipients, but the 
questions help us narrow the conversation and identify unresolved issues.

2) URGENT -- if I remember correctly, today is the deadline for calling for 
public comment on the new gTLD budget.  As many of us said at the open mic in 
Brussels, it is crucial to have some resources to continue our process and 
fully 
develop a support process for new/disadvantaged gTLD applicants.  A handful of 
comments urging ICANN to put support in the budget might help greatly, so if 
you 
have time...  Apologies for not having mentioned this on the call.

Best, Andrew

Subject: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] JAS WG call 20 July - follow up

 
Dear all,
Please find some actions points below, following today’s conference call:
 
1. Welcome to Michael Palage that has now joined the WG.
 
2. Work in WT1 and WT2 to be pursued on the list (not necessarily exclusively, 
but with at least a trace on the list), with a view to: 

- populate the “final report shell” with substance before next meeting
- consolidate views on the public comments received (ending tomorrow, 21 July)
- advance drafting on recently added issues, like support allocation, vetting, 
“support exchange platform” (just to use another phrase than “clearinghouse”…), 
next steps etc 

 
3. Regarding the third bullet point in 2 above, it was agreed NOT to set up a 
separate WT (“WT3”) but to share the work between WT2 (for aspects that can be 
agreed now) and the co-chairs (for suggestions for future work).
 
4. Elaine volunteered to resend the invitation letter to potential support 
providers with a new response address, since answers may have bounced.
 
Finally – please welcome Karla Valente that is now taking over the ICANN staff 
support role for the WG from yours truly. I take the opportunity of thanking 
you 
all for excellent cooperation and an enjoyable time - while wishing you all 
success, knowing that you’ve got a star to support you!
 
Very best regards
Olof
