Greetings IRT members,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As promised during the 1 February IRT meeting #26a, the Applicant Support Program (ASP) Project Team is sharing the Draft Applicant Support Program Handbook in advance of the next IRT meeting #26b on Tuesday, 6 February. Please see: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w3_kYNYcEjXin5D1O9x4hxcpYJr7JqlY/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102500713462362391761&rtpof=true&sd=true" class="OWAAutoLink" style="font-size: 12pt;">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w3_kYNYcEjXin5D1O9x4hxcpYJr7JqlY/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102500713462362391761&rtpof=true&sd=true</a> (this
will also be posted to the wiki on Monday, 5 February). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please note that remaining bracketed or placeholder text throughout the ASP Handbook is color-coded (see p. 2). In addition, ICANN org has continued to work on-list with ASP IRT members to propose updated language on some of those bracketed highlighted
areas. As such, you may see a few spots with remaining suggested text and comments to the ASP IRT regarding those suggested changes. We hope to resolve those suggestions in advance of the IRT plenary session on 6 February. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As noted during IRT meeting #26a, ICANN org kindly requests<span> plenary IRT members to liaise with their
<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/LIBME" class="OWAAutoLink">counterparts in the IRT ASP Sub-Track</a> to understand the work done to date, and to discuss any questions or concerns you or your constituencies may have through the IRT ASP Sub-Track members</span>
members. Please bring any remaining questions or comments on the ASP Handbook to our IRT plenary meeting next Tuesday, 6 February (#26b). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks in advance for your time and we look forward to meeting next week. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind regards,<br>
Kristy, on behalf of the ASP Project Team </div>
