You are most welcome.    I am always willing to help people find things that 
are on our wiki page. such a small amount of work for such a big payoff.

Good question.

I think it falls under 

a. C1, the requirement to propose criteria for financial support: The criteria 
of support includes budget, business plans etc..   Decision on which RSP to use 
and how much must be paid for those services are indeed part of the entire 
package that needs to be evaluated in making the granting decision.

a. C3, the requirement to figure how to provide assistance for those seeking 
help from Registry Service providers:  Given the contracts that may be offered 
and the conditions of those contracts including the disposition on the 
indigenous resources contained in the string, the best way to provide such 
assistance might involve recommending that regional non-profit RSPs be 
established in those developing economies that do not already have them.

I am not sure I agree with your assessment that this is any more a gaming 
attractor than pots of money available for those who help applicants from 
developing economies.  But I do agree that it does not seem to be in our 
current scope.  That is why I recommend that ALAC member work on establishing a 
group to work on the goal.
