[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Prioritization

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

Dear all,

 

I had a long and deep reflection about the issue of prioritization of ethnic
and linguistic category of applicants, and tried to put examples to see how
things may go. I found that prioritizing any category will de facto exclude
the others because as you all said, and as we put it explicitly in our
report, the number of supported applicants will be too small, and thus, only
applicants from the prioritized category will get assistance.

 

Despite my willing to find consensus, and to make things advancing, I still
don’t understand the benefit of giving a category the priority. We need to
put the criteria and let applicants compete. I don’t feel it’s fair to
prioritize a specific category; it’s a subjective (arbitrary) decision to do
so.

 

I do accept to prioritize the relatively well defined and identifiable
groups that would be not controversial to support, but not a specific
category.
