<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Hoping to build something that will improve the uptake.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">In 2012 if you applied for the program and didn’t make it you couldn’t go through the regular application process.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Questions: 1) Interested to know if you had some metrics how to track KPI for the application program; 2) How did it work for the pro bono support; 3) what are the lessons learned? Answers: 1) Don’t
think there were KPIs, but we will check; 2) pro bono consisted of a directory of services; 3) a lot of the Final Report outputs address lessons learned. Good improvement would be to start outreach early. Hard to say what success looks like. Increasing %
of applicants requesting support is one.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Question: 1) With these criteria, how to ensure geographical distribution? if this was an objective of the ASP? 2) Were they taking into account the motivation for the global south? Answer: Least
developed countries was the target, in the Final Report it was “struggling regions”. Could consider to measure geographic criteria.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Don’t think the criteria were well-enough established – make sure for future rounds that we don’t leave it open, but make it really clear. Make sure we provide guidance<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Question: What was the difference for .KIDS qualifying? Answer: The other two did not make it through on at least one criteria. See:

<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">Could be used to help evaluate the program.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">Have some proposed metrics and a requirement to prioritize.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">My understanding is that these are relating to the evaluation of the program, but I think they are a few of them that certainly can add to recommendations around criteria for scoring applicants. It's
not as to us to score, but we can make recommendations in terms of how we score.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">Question: Is this a fixed list of metrics? Answer: Not a fixed list – some suggestions in Task 3 for evaluating the program; Task 4 is qualifying criteria.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">We are obliged to consider 17.9, and if we're going to reject anything that's currently in 17.9, we need to explain why it's not appropriate, but we can certainly add to that list.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">Question: We have the list of those elements of the applicant support program: outreach, education, business case, development and application, evaluation. Can weadd more elements there? Or, if that's
fixed, at least we cannot. Answer: We have to consider what is on the list, but we can add elements.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">Tasks 3 and 4 – General feedback from ALAC: 1) It’s hard to prioritize the metrics in 17.9 if we don't have information on what success looks like. So the recommendation from ALAC is to have a bit
more granular information, some objectives and numbers. And if you look at, for example, 17.9, it could be X number of outreach events targeting X number of potential applicants so that it makes it easy for us to know what's important for our community, and
it also makes it easy to evaluate the metrics after the fact. 2) Portfolio applicants: There was a question around putting a cap on the number of applications from a portfolio applicant. So we didn't agree, but it's something that I wanted to put on the record
from from our working group.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">I believe we are working on evaluating the program and setting metrics to be measured, not working on the evaluation of application per se.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">Regarding the definition of "public interest benefit". Is this defined somewhere? for success metrics, how much weight is it given compared to the financial and geographic considerations?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4">It's time to start potentially putting up a straw proposal. I don't think that there is any one criteria that is more important than the other. So, for example, Gabriela raised the concern about geographic
diversity and the global South. Paul then asked the question is it a country, you know. So how do you? For example, a very wealth business from a least developed country as compared to a community organization from a very poor part of an otherwise wealthy
country. Neither is the perfect applicant, but neither should be disqualified. Rather we should be making recommendations as to a weighting and scoring system, which firstly recognizes that by getting both applications in we're achieving success because it
means we've got more than 3 people who are aware of the program that understand if they qualify or not, and decide to make use of the program because it's not punitive, where you're all in or all out. And then the next stage is to provide some guidance in
terms of how the evaluation would work, so that we get towards outcomes that are more desirous than others. But the first is, we need applications to come in from people who are generally qualified in the broadest sense.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
