>> Hi, Avri Thanks you for your support.

>Support? You are welcome, but I do not know what support I have offered.

Just for reference please: 
"..... I would appreciate assistance and comment from the IGC community." 

By the way, in order to continue communication cycle, the participation in communication itself is a also a support. 

>Whether this is an Internet Community Welfare Scheme (ICWS), as you call it, is an evaluation I leave to you, but the ICWS meme is a cool piece of rhetoric and I love cool rhetoric.

Yes this may be a good title "Internet Community Welfare Scheme (ICWS)"
for our proposal.

>Subject..
Yes I understand about subject, but intially I would need second openion or vote.
 

Thanks

Imran

First of all, would you please select the any subject proposed in my previous email or any other topic to replace the current one, as our discussion is relating to give benefit to Developing Economies, Reduction of Overall Cost (incl fee) for non-Commercial applicants as well as non-commercial namespace.

>> 2.    Would you please share the information / basis of the following fee structure defined or proposed by JAS WG?

>> Q:	{And Finally, the figure of 76% and capability of $45,000 came from where? Is it any estimation of by JSA WG that a standard organization from developing economies has surplus budget about this? to invest for the Internet Community welfare scheme like participation of new gTLDs?}

>The Joint Advisory Group & Supporting organization Working Group on support for gTLD applicants from developing economies (JAS WG) had recommended 2 fee reductions in the first milestone report (MR1):

>- The MR1 also recommended that all applicants had to produce some percentage of the application fee in order to show that there was some investment from the local community

>As for studies of the 'surplus budget' capacity of developing economies, I do not think any were done.  I assume each of the GAC members has some idea of what is possible in their countries and they are the ones recommending the reduction levels.  They were requesting a 100% reduction for the Least Developed Countries, but I think they may have dropped this requirement.  I don't think that the JAS WG can't really require more than even the GAC would require.

People who are tracking on subject may miss your email, but it is a choice that remains to the individual email sender.  As far as I know the IGC has no rules anywhere of email subject lines (except maybe the principles of netiquette)
