RE: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Friday 15 October JAS meeting.
Dear Avri and all: Please see attached the Addenda that has the draft of the public comments for your discussion and review. In my opinion, the Final report addresses most of the concerns/suggestions raised during the public comment period and we should keep the Summary Analysis simple and refer to the Final Report as much as possible. It is your call and I am happy to adjust. There are few responses I still need to work on based on the recent FAQ and revisions made to the Final report. Regarding the Final Report: On FAQ 4.1.1, we might consider referencing the New gTLD Policy Implementation Guideline N which states: "ICANN may put in place a fee reduction scheme for gTLD applicants from economies classified by the UN as least developed." I personally believe this gives more strength to this work. I see the note we have that these recommendations would not impact the Applicant Guidebook.... In my personal opinion and looking from an applicant perspective, the Applicant Guidebook should, at a minimum, have some reference that a support program exists or is under development and where to find current information about this. I was reminded that the board expects us to directly answer to the recent resolution. Do you believe we have done this? The reviewed budget for the New gTLD Program has not yet been posted, but I expect it any time... I know, it has been a week :-(. It looks like there has been an overall increase in the budget to address deployment costs, but, most importantly, we are looking at creating funds for non-financial support of applicants as recommended by this WG. I will keep you posted.

Hi, While I was hoping that we could start to work through the addendum, especially the responses to the comments at Friday's meeting, that report was not sent in time for the group to discuss it. Hopefully, it will be submitted in the near future as it is a critical component of out final delivery. I have attached an updated version of the final Draft. While some of the issues still penidng the clue that the poll is supposed to offer us, I think there is still work we need to do on the report. - A there is lots of changed language in the report that has not been discussed. - given the first hints that the poll is giving, we may want to look at some of the language on the polled items and see if thee is any way to close gaps. I suggest that is what we do. Talk to you all in a few hours. a. Attachment:
