[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Question 2: the funding exception rule

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

During the last meeting we had a discussion that I do not believe resolved on 
the percentage of funding that an applicant had to bring to the table.

The current snapshot says 50%.

Among the questions asked: 

- why 50%? 
- is this a strict boundary?
- can there be exceptions?
- where does the other 50% need to come from?

On this last question an example might work.  A friend of mine had problems 
paying her rent in NYC.  The city has a plan to fund part of the rent of a 
person who is threatened with eviction and is poor enough - they will match 
dollar for dollar on the amount of money in arrears - i.e. will got up to 50%.  
In this case my friend built a package that included 3 charities and a bunch of 
friends and family to meet 50% of her debt.  And the city matched it.  

Do we care where the applicant gets the first 50%?

In any case this section of the report needed some rework.

thanks
