<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Kristy, Hi Samantha,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks for your excellent presentation on Topic 17 Applicant Support @ ICANN78.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think we are all agreed on the huge amount of work that needs to be done to comply with all the SubPro recommendation(s), ultimately P-477 “the Applicant Support Program will open to receive applications for support 18 months prior to the application window for New gTLDs “ . That would be Q4 2024 , based on the projected next Round TLD Application Submissions in May 2026.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Elisa, please would you add me to the ASP Sub Track meetings starting on 21 November.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the record, I participated in the Applicant Support WG ( with Cheryl and others) prior to the 2012 Round. Hindsight is a great thing. It was an abject failure.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IMHO , To make it a success for the next Round will require an ICANN investment of $20M+ and much much more….</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to the first call on 21 November.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,</p>
