[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] WT(ab) proposal

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

Dear all,

 

Please find below the ideas we discussed last call (Tuesday).

 

--------------------

 

Introduction

 

The main objective of the JAS Working Group is to develop a sustainable
approach to providing support to applicants requiring assistance in applying
for and operating new gTLD. 

 

Further to the presentation of its Milestone Report in which “need” has been
established as the primary criterion for support, the ICANN Board request
the WG to define precise metrics to demonstrate the “need” for the
applicants for assistance

 

The mission of the Work Team (ab) is to Propose and establish the criteria
for financial need and a method of demonstrating that need, and to propose
and define mechanisms for determining whether an application for special
consideration is to be granted and what sort of help should be offered.

 

Self declaration

 

Applicants who wish to benefit from the support should provide: 

 

*       Declaration of all their properties. 
*       Financial reports for the 3 last years
*       Bank statements of the 3 last years 

 

Qualification

 

To be declared needy, an applicant should have a total net profit over the 3
last years of less than or equal to US$ 100,000.

 

Nevertheless, an applicant should also demonstrate its sustained capability
to operate the gTLD, and thus should have a total net profit over the 3 last
years of more than or equal to US$ 70,000. 

 

Those values are arbitrary, and don’t have scientific explanation. But if we
assume that the applicant should provide a self funding of at least 30% of
the application cost, the amounts above can be reasonable.

 

Gaming

 

To verify the self declaration, ICANN should make use of professional
entities at asserting the truth and checking the exactitude of the
declaration. 

 

Any misrepresentation will lead to the rejection of the application, and
will disqualify the applicant for the next 5 years.
