Dear all, Kind reminder, Dear ALAC and RALO Leaders, We would like to draw your attention to a recent blog post regarding the Applicant Support Program (ASP), which invites community feedback on the possibility of increasing support for qualified applicants to 85%. While both the ALAC and the GAC have previously provided input on this topic, (reference, see the letter sent on March 20th 2026<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/correspondence/zuck-to-sinha-20-03-2026-…>), you may wish to consider whether any additional feedback should be submitted in response to this latest request. Please note that the correct deadline for submitting feedback is 17 April (not 12 April, as indicated in the Community Digest). The Board is requesting that any feedback on the proposed new support amount be provided via written correspondence to the ICANN Board to avoid delaying eligible applicants. Should you decide to contribute further input, kindly ensure that any responses are submitted within the relevant timeframes. Thank you, and please see the Blog for further information. https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-board-seeks-input-on-additiona… Kind regards!
