[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Question 1: Size of applicant pool for support

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was supposed to send this message out on Friday.  Apologies.

An open issue that needs to be resolved before getting back to word-smithing  
of the final report is to what degree do we want to restrict the pool of 
applicants eligible for whatever assistance we can muster up. Also referred to 
as the size of the funnel in the call.

We currently have a proposal that:

a. first judges need
b. then if there is need, as long as you meet conditions a-e  you get 
assistance.

The process in the snapshot said:

If you meet conditions A and have need you get support.

Obviously the pool of possible applicants is larger in the proposal than in the 
snapshot.

In deciding to move toward this proposal and away from the situation as 
documented in the snapshot, we need to determine whether:

a. this change is in response to a strong call by the comments
b. this change is favored by a consensus in the group.

I don't know the answer to either of those questions yet.

What do people think?

a.
