Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Additional Criteria "Indigenous Peoples"

[Alain Berranger <alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think the multi-stakeholder panel proposed by Olivier makes a lot of
sense. His suggestion for a comprehensive list of criteria also makes sense;
in other words we need to identify all relevant evaluation criteria. We can
recommend also that the panel be tasked to define thresholds and weights
metrics for each of those evaluation criteria, or even regroupings of
criteria. We should not re-invent evaluation procedures, they are well
documented by numerous professional and development institutions.

Cheers, Alain
