[governance] ICANN and Applicant Support for applicant from developing economies in the new gTLD program

[Avri Doria]

hi,

Carlos sending the pointer to the NTIA letter reminded me that IGC sometimes takes an interest in ICANN issues beyond the meta issue of ICANN being allowed to exist at all.

On a slightly different note, the ICANN Board has responded to the recommendation made by the Applicant Support WG that has been requesting support for applicants from developing economies with a program of support for such applicants.

This program is currently open to public comment until 10 Jan.  While I am sure there is not enough time for the IGC to comment, some individual participants of this list or members of the IGC may want to comment.  The information can be found at:  <http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/new-gtld-applicant-support-handbook-20dec11-en.htm> and the comment period ends on 10 Jan.

Some initial comments from the group that made the recommendations can be found at: <https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Initial+Statement+on+Support+Implementation>
