[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Board resolution during retreat regarding Applicant Support

[Karla Valente <karla.valente@xxxxxxxxx>]

2.2 New gTLD Applicant Support

==============================



Support to applicants will generally include outreach and education to 
encourage participation across all regions, but any direct financial support 
for applicant fees must come from sources outside of ICANN.



Staff will publish a list of organizations that request assistance and 
organizations that state an interest in assisting with additional program 
development, for example pro-bono consulting advice, pro-bono in-kind support, 
or financial assistance so that those needing assistance and those willing to 
provide assistance can identify each other and work together.



Owing to the level of uncertainty associated with the launch of new gTLDs, the 
fee levels currently in the Applicant Guidebook will be maintained for all 
applicants.
