[GNSO-GGP-WG] Proposed Agenda | GGP Applicant Support WG Meeting #26 on 27 Nov at 15:00 UTC

Sat Nov 25 01:48:01 UTC 2023

Hi Rafik and Julie

FYI - I gave our CPWG a brief update on Weds (22nd) of how the GGP has
progressed since ICANN78 when all they were told was that we were still in
discussion about the final status of our recommendations following the
public comment.
.
This week we had a look at each of the 9 recommendations (in the 15 mins -
extended to 20, that I was assigned).
1) the original recommendation in our initial report;
2) some key issues raised during the public comment;;
3) and finally an update on whether the recommendation statement had been
altered or not, and if it was still outstanding, what the pressing issues
were that may be holding up the recommendation and the different
perspectives that have been involved.

Following this presentation, I only had two people ask questions.
1) from Hadia E- why were we being specific about "private sector entities"
when it was assumed from the original statement that it already was
inclusive by stating that support would be for 'those who may need and
could qualify for support"?  I explained that there had been lots of
discussion around this recommendation and that the consensus was that it
gave more clarity about categories of applicants, even including private
sector entities, but with the target group being those from underserved and
previously uninformed regions.
2) from Greg S - asked if pro bono service providers would bear their own
costs for providing the services as not all professional services offer pro
bono services, so that the range may not be as comprehensive or easy to
access.  We in At-Large, as volunteers from outside of the internet service
industry, know all about bearing our own costs to contribute our services
to ICANN.. but I did mention that Org had recently surveyed potential
service providers and that there was great interest starting to build
already.These services would be communicated and promoted so that
applicants can make their own choices about who they want to talk to about
whatever is on offer. There would be no "matchmaking". Greg suggested that
there might have to be a bit of marketing involved. I also mentioned that
it would be specified as to what would be provided as a free service, and
what would be within the realm of a paid service if more expert advice was
required. This would be negotiated between the parties.

>From the feedback in the chat, this was a helpful update. I believe there
will be few surprises when the final report comes out.
