RE: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Applicant Support Program - Outreach Support Request

Dear Rafik,

Dennis works with a team at ICANN that I happen to be part of. Unfortunately, 
he will not be to attend Costa Rica, so, for now, I will be presenting at the 
session you mentioned below. It will be a program overview, very similar to the 
power point shared with the original message. I am still working on some final 
power point details. I will be happy to talk to the JAS WG prior to the session.
The Third Party Pro-bono service is already in place for several months and we 
have few entries from parties seeking help and organizations offering 
assistance. Please see: 
http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/candidate-support#pro-bono. Let me know 
if you have questions.

I look forward to seeing all in Costa Rica.

Kind regards,

Support Request

Hello Karla,

thanks for the information and introducing Dennis, as I suggested before I do 
think that JAS WG should be involved and cooperating with him as it is part of 
our tasks, maybe we can have informal meeting between JAS WG and him in San 
jose meeting if the members agree.
btw I saw an applicant support  session in the meeting schedule, I assume that 
will use the same materials? can you give please more details about the 
session?any other details about the implementation and information about 
"pro-bono 3rd party"?

Best Regards,

Dear JAS WG,

Dennis Chang is the program manager for the New gTLD Applicant Support Program 
(ASP). He is seeking community support with the ASP Outreach  efforts. Please 
feel free to contact him if you need clarifications.

If you could, please share the attached materials with the organization you are 
associated with and anyone you believe may be interested in the program.
The goals are:


1.       Let the world know that the possibility of financial assistance is 
available for qualifying new gtld applicants.  See fact sheet about the program 
attached;

2.       Recruit volunteers for the Support Application Review Panel (SARP). 
See SARP Expressions of Interest Request attached.

I am also attaching the Applicant Support Overview presentation, which may be 
helpful.

All of these attached documents can be found on the ICANN Website for your 
future reference.
See: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/candidate-support

Thank you in advance for your assistance in our outreach efforts.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need any clarification on the 
ASP program.

Kind regards,

Dennis Chang
