Hi Richard,

No. Rather that "qualification" is not a property of a single 
application for a single string -- the unit of application that is 
appropriate to the pre-IDN applications of 2001 and 2004 new gTLD 
rounds. And probably appropriate for the well-capitalized applicants 
of the 201x round(s), particularly Verisign with its newTLD goal of 
acquiring "com" in all major market areas.
An application, particularly one from "developing countries", may 
require several forms of presentation, and that tuple of <applicant, 
purpose and set of strings> is the unit to be tested for need.
