<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Good to start with goals to give us some guidance. Would be helpful to know the assumptions for the numbers.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Numbers were pulled out of the air as a thought exercise. Interested to hear what people think.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Instead of saying X number of parties we could say “three times the X” of applicants in 2011.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Suggest we don’t tie back to the 2011 program because it was a failure.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">What about setting a range of percentage based on number of all application like 5 to 10 % from all applicants of gTLD.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">On what awareness means – change the language there.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Doesn’t talk to how many regions you want to have represented (at least 3).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Need to have metrics attached to these goals.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Certainly an option …. I thought it better to have an absolute number and easier to push towards an outcome [but happy to be persuaded]<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Link success to the program, but absolute numbers are hard to justify – better to have a range.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Need to tie to indicators of success.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Noting, operating against a percentage probably makes it harder for planning purposes (since we do not know how many total applications we will receive)?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">If success is 20 applications then 60 would be overwhelming success, but note that we’re no setting the criteria for qualifying.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">What is the outcome if all qualify but we don’t have funding for all. Note that this issue is Task 6.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Qualifying applicants can be ranked in the process leading up to their evaluation. Such scores can help determine the applicants who eventually get supported<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">We won’t know the number of applicants until the round is completed.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Staff to note potential extra goals related to the life cycle: 1) include after you qualified, passed evaluation, delegated, and durable.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">It does make it difficult to develop the success of tasks when we haven't got any criteria that can help to set the metrics. Does it mean that we can suggest criteria that will assess
the measures of success?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Assumptions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Intention is to focus on not-for-profit and under-developed and developing regions. Anyone object?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">May need to expand to civil society and small business.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">But this doesn’t say that commercial enterprises will not qualify. Is there support for not focusing?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Commercial enterprises are a category of applicant for support and possibly an important one who already have a commercial interest in the round.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">Developing criteria is not within our scope. SubPro also suggested not changing the criteria in any substantive way.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">We don’t know the criteria going forward because that is subject to implementation, but criteria shouldn’t change substantively from the previous round. Could look at the criteria from
the 2012 round.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">The JAS Working Group discussed the issue of focus, and agreed on underserved regions and not-for-profit. This is not a new topic.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">The idea is to provide staff with some guidance. The area of focus.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo10">there is also a landing page for Applicant Support in 2012, which includes information about pro bono services.
