d) Propose and establish methods for applicants to out assistance as well as 
for coordinating the
assistance, and discussions on the extent of such coordination, to be given by 
Backend Registry
Service Providers; e.g. brokering the relationships, reviewing the operational 
quality of the
relationship.

e) Propose and establish methods for coordinating any assistance volunteered by 
providers (including
top-level domain consultants, translators, technicians, etc.) in the 
application for, and administration
of, a new top-level domain; match services to qualified applicants; broker 
these relationships and
review the operational quality of the relationship.

f) Propose and establish methods for coordinating cooperation among qualified 
applicants, and
assistance volunteered by third parties.

BTW, given her earlier leadership on this, I suggest that Elaine be volunteered 
as leader, just as I was volunteered as leader of Group CG.

And coming up with a proposed mechanism for handling any we do managed to shake 
out.
And I certainly don't mind, the more people shaking the tree, the better.  
Welcome.

To start I think we should produce a cover letter and some collateral to send 
to prospective angels (the theatrical name for trees).

c) Propose and establish a framework, including a possible recommendation for a 
separate ICANN
originated foundation, for managing any auction income, beyond costs for future 
rounds and ongoing
assistance;

g) In cooperation with ICANN Staff and donor experts propose and establish 
policies and practices
for fundraising and for establishing links to possible donor agencies. This 
activity may include
assisting in the establishment of initial relationships with any donor(s) who 
may be able to help in
first round with funding
