Subject: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Consistency - and Clarification - of 
Terminology for Final Report

Dear All:
The preparation for the Final Report is in gear and so we create a product that 
easily communicate the objectives of this initiative,  Staff is monitoring 
terms in the Report for consistency in usage.

The following questions are for your advice and consent:

*  Name of the program being proposed. Is it Support Development Program 
Evaluation Process?

K.Papac>> I agree with Evan, a shorter program name is better. However, I 
suggest Applicant Support Program for the name of the program itself, and 
Support Evaluation Process for the process of evaluating those requesting 
support.

*  Name of the foundation that is to hold the $2M or other donation

K.Papac>> I really have no idea....

*  Name for the applicant asking for support. Do we still want to call it 
applicant? Is this confusing with the New gTLD Program? We could consider 
alternatives, such as, New gTLD program Support Candidates or something to that 
effect.

K.Papac>> I find it confusing to call applicants asking for support applicant 
because applicant is what all companies applying to the new gTLD Program are 
called. I agree with the terms suggested by Evan -  "Support-Requested 
Applicant" for those in the queue and "Support-Qualified Applicant". These 
follow a similar naming convention as the Program and Process which adds 
consistency and hopefully clarity.

*  In-kind services - have we agreed on this term for any non-financial support 
offered?

K.Papac>> I understand the issue others on the WG have with this term and 
support the term Non-Financial Support.

*  Developing economies - we still use, countries, nations, etc....

K.Papac>> I agree with Developing Economies

*  Support Eligibility criteria - how about this instead of 'qualification 
criteria'?

K.Papac>> I agree with Support Eligibility Criteria

* Support and relief - will we use these terms in combination? Should add to 
glossary.

K.Papac>> I prefer to use Support only. To me (and Webster.com) the word 
'support' refers to help and/or assistance, whereas relief is the removal or 
lightening of something oppressive, painful, or distressing. Essentially, I 
prefer the more positive term of 'support'.

*  Support Application Review Panel (SARP) - is this final?

K.Papac>> I agree with Support Application Review Panel



We will have a 5-minute period allotted on the call tomorrow for your final 
advice and consent.



Best,

Carlton Samuels & Rafik Danmark
