Hi Avri,

In follow up to today's call, I would like to forward your proposal to Kurt for 
his feedback and I want to make sure I point to the correct text. Is it the 
link below that you previously forwarded to the group here:   As to an answer 
of where the money would come form I have contributed a suggestion in:

Or is this the correct excerpt below?  (or some other text?)

Financial Need

The overriding consensus of the WG is that financial need and capability is the 
primary criteria for determining eligible applications. Such need and 
capability is to be demonstrated through the following criteria:
*

Applicants must be capable of contributing US$45,000 towards the New gTLD 
Program's Evaluation Fee, unless ICANN waives, or lowers evaluation fees.
*       Where applicants anticipate scheduled fees, such as for extended 
evaluation, the applicant must be capable of contributing a quarter of the 
scheduled fees.
*       Applicants must be capable of contributing US$45,000 towards registry 
operational costs, if the applicant proposes to operate its own registry 
platform. If the applicant proposes to share registry operational costs with 
other qualified applicants, the applicant must be capable of contributing the 
pro-rated proportional share of this cost.
*       Applicants must be capable of contributing US$45,000 towards registry 
continuity operational costs, if the applicant proposes to fund its own 
continuity operation. If the applicant proposes to share registry continuity 
operational costs with other qualified applicants, the applicant must be 
capable of contributing the pro-rated proportional share of this cost.


To demonstrate need, Applicants will be required to submit materials to the 
program administrators, detailing the various constraints which negatively 
affect the Applicant's ability to acquire and implement a gTLD without 
assistance under this program. Applicants should provide background on 
economic, technical, administrative, legal, and/or socio-cultural factors 
within their environment which are causing these constraints. As well, 
Applicants will be requested to detail any applicable constraints on 
management, human resources, IT infrastructure and the Applicant's technical 
capabilities.
