[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] RE: Special Meeting of the JAS WG - 20 April SAVE THE DATE
Dear all, Please see attached a summary of the proposed Community role in relation to the SARP and actual financial support request evaluations. Please let me know if you have issues viewing the file. Carlton, regarding your comments below, there are few things I will try to clarify on Friday during our call. Thank you and I look forward to talking to the JAS WG again after so long!

I do not have an objection to either date or purpose of the meeting. When you share the list of SARP applicants, it'd be useful if At-Large members - self or otherwise expressed - could be noted. I'm also presuming that a formula for SARP Membership to Applicants for financial assistance is already determined. If so, it'd be very useful if this is also circulated.

There was a meeting today with few JAS WG representatives (Rafik, Tijani, Avri, Cintra, Alan), few board members (Chris, George, Sebastian) and staff (Kurt, Karla, Dennis [Project Manager], Wendy) about the Support Applicant Review Panel (SARP) and operations of the financial assistance evaluation. One of the issues discussed was having an active role of community members from the JAS WG in the final design of the SARP and evaluation process. It was proposed we hold a special JAS WG meeting on 20 April to explain to the JAS WG the current vision and also reach an agreement on the JAS WG individuals that will be involved in the final design and evaluation process. Obviously, the selected individuals will be expected not to have conflict of interest issues and be able to dedicate time to this. I will work with the policy team to schedule the 20 April meeting, following the same structure and time we had before. If there are any objections from moving ahead with this plan, please let me know ASAP. I am preparing some materials to share with the JAS WG that explains in more details the plans and the role in the SARP design and evaluation process. This will be sent to all soon. Quick Program updates: * We are pleased to report we received 80 applications for the SARP. Applicants come from different regions of the world and have a wide range of backgrounds, including business, academic, diplomatic, etc. * We plan on selecting the SARP members and start training of all involved in the evaluation end of April, beginning of May. * We do not have yet the final number of financial assistance applicants and, as you know, the new gTLD application window has been extended. We will announce the financial assistance applicants at the same time we reveal all the data on the new gTLD applicants. The actual number of financial assistance applicants will dictate the final number of SARP members and community members needed for evaluation. I look forward to meeting with you all on April 20th.
