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

["Tijani BEN JEMAA" <tijani.benjemaa@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Avri,

 

This issue was debated in length, and we finally decided in the 2 last calls
not to restrict the support to only one category. It was a consensus. The
pool seize will be will determined by the resources available, but not by an
arbitrary decision of our WG to exclude all the categories except one. The
consensus was that applicants meeting one of the a to e criteria (with no
preference order) plus the main one which is the need are eligible.

support

 

 

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?
