Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] WEBINAR - Joint Applicant Support Working Group (JAS WG)

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, although I understand Olivier's point, I think it's important to point 
out that Staff has worked very hard on both supporting the JAS group in general 
and on organizing this seminar in particular.

This Staff support is really the ICANN community as a whole showing support for 
the work being done here.

Also, my understanding is that the seminar is aimed at explaining the final 
report to those community members that make up the JAS WG's chartering 
organizations.

So even though yes, in an ideal world, it would be better to have a 
multi-lingual webinar, it may have been too complex or expensive to organize 
this on relatively short notice, for a webinar that is targeted at a 
well-defined audience (this is an assumption on my part, Staff may wish to 
correct that assumption if this was in fact not the case).

Just pointing this out because I think we should make sure that comments such 
as these are not interpreted as criticism of Staff and the way the ICANN 
Community in general has considered the topic of applicant support, because I 
know that's not how they were meant.

Thanks,

Stéphane
