[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] RE: Terminology agreement per August 2 agenda

[Karla Valente <karla.valente@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Carlton,

Thank you for your feedback! We will go ahead and use the terms agreed.

For the record, here is some rationale:
#1 -  Developing Economies Support Program This is more specific, particularly 
to the target audience - the developing economies. It makes it easier to 
communicate and call attention to. I also considered something more 
self-explanatory  like: Developing Economies gTLD Support Program", but it is 
very long and maybe too technical with the term gTLD.

#2 - ICANN gTLD Support Fund. It is more specific and gives ICANN more 
flexibility if it decides to have other funds in the future for other needs.


#3 -  Support Candidate,  Support-Qualified Candidate, Support Recipient. The 
main concern was combining the words "support" with "applicant". This could 
confuse people with customer support for (new gTLD) applicants. Also took into 
account all the info ICANN publishes about the new gtld program and how much 
the word "applicant" has been used. This way we know someone is a "candidate" 
for support that, once qualified, becomes an "applicant" in the new gTLD 
program.


Kind regards,

Dear Karla:
You beat me to it!  I am very pleased with your assistance here.  I was 
prepared to lock on all in the concurring suggestions and Krista's different 
offers excepting the name of the Fund; ICANN Fund was too generic.

I think Staff suggestion for fund name in #2 is supportable and is locked.

I prefer Staff's suggestion for #3; it is a lot more rational.   It is locked.

Yes to banishing from use the terms 'needy', 'relief' and 'aid'; I am 
fundamentally opposed to the notion that this is charity.

Best,
Carlton

Dear Carlton, Rafik,

We received few comments via e-mail on the terminology clarifications issue, as 
per August 2 agenda. Below is a summary of final terms Seth will start 
incorporating into the Final Report, unless we hear from you otherwise.

Please note that # 1, 2 and 3 have staff suggested alternative terms. I can 
explain to you my rationale for the suggestions during the meeting tomorrow.
That said, can we please add 5 minutes to the agenda to close on this issue?



1.       Name of the program being proposed. Is it Support Development Program 
Evaluation Process?
                Applicant Support Program for the name of the program itself, 
and Support Evaluation Process for the process of evaluating those requesting 
support.
Staff suggestion: Developing Economies Support Program


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

The ICANN Fund

Staff suggestion: ICANN gTLD Support Fund


3.       Name for the applicant asking for support

"Support-Requested Applicant" for those in the queue and "Support-Qualified 
Applicant"

Staff suggestion:

Support Candidate

Support-Qualified candidate

Support Recipient


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

Final term: Non-Financial Support



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

Final term: Developing Economies


6.       Support Eligibility criteria - how about this instead of qualification 
criteria?

Final term: Support Eligibility Criteria


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

The word 'support' refers to help and/or assistance, whereas relief is the 
removal or lightening of something oppressive, painful, or distressing.

Final term: Support


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

Final term: Support Application Review Panel (SARP)


Other terminology related issues:

*         We are not using aid, needy or relief in final report.

*         We will use financial support as opposed to non-financial support.

Process Note:
Seth is working on defining the terms above and adding to the glossary. As more 
terms require definition, we will continue adding to the glossary. Note that 
final glossary check by the WG is schedule for August 30.
