[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Draft replacement proposal for bundling

[Andrew Mack <amack@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

Please excuse the lateness of this submission, but yesterday was a holiday and 
I 
was just able to compose now.

On the "bundling" discussion, based on our desire to come forward with a 
consensus formula that both promotes more access in underserved languages and 
yet also avoids some of the possible unintended consequences/gaming 
opportunities noted by Eric, Richard and others, Richard and I worked up the 
following formulation:

That in place of "bundled" support for IDN build out the WG would recommend a 
simplified "direct" package of cost reductions to incentivize IDN build out in 
underserved scripts for all applicants, whether national or international, NGO 
or private, on the following basis:

For scripts with 1-10 million native users, a 60% discount from the typical 
price of a new gTLD.  


For scripts with 10-50 million native users, a 40% discount.  

For scripts with 50-100 million native users, a 20% discount.  

No discount is recommended for scripts with more than 100 million users, as 
they 
are considered large enough to constitute a strong market in the near term and 
thus support would be better focused on script groups that need it  most.

Let's discuss is there is time and I can re-work this to fit the tone of the 
other parts of the document.  Thanks for all the inputs, Andrew

Subject: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Current Draft Final report, v 2.9 Aug 31 + 
Addenda with Public Comments Summary & Analsys

 
Dear all,
 
Please find attached the Draft Final Report version 2.9, August 31, updated 
based on today’s meeting. 

We worked on lines 255 to 269.
The following have been identified as needing further review/consensus:
a.       Lines 184 -185
b.      Lines 238 - 240
c.       Lines 263 - 264
d.      Lines 267 - 269
 
Per my understanding at the end of the meeting today:
 
1.       I have NOT made any color coding on the document indicating consensus 
and non consensus sections. The only thing I identified on this draft are the 
lines we agreed to further wordsmith.
 
2.       I have attached a draft of the Summary and Analysis of the public 
comments (See Addenda – JAS WG Aug 31 line 150 on), which is part of the 
Addenda 
that still needs to be agreed upon. The Summary & Analysis is related to the 
public comment received between June 16 and August 23  . I added the WG 
discussions on the comments received, which still require the WG review and 
consensus. Please note we will post the Summary and Analysis as a separate 
document in response to the public comments. This is standard procedure for all 
public comments received for the New gTLD Program.
 
 
3.       We will send a proposed agenda for the next meeting.
 
The attached documents will be available at the Wiki shortly.
 
Thank you,
 
Karla
