Dear Councilors, You may have already seen, but I wanted to flag a blog post<https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-board-seeks-input-on-applicant…> from Tripti about a Board proposal to utilize auction proceeds from the 2012 New gTLD Round to provide up to half of the required funding (up to $5 million) for the Applicant Support Program.

Singulars / Plurals

July 31, 2024

All, Here is a placeholder motion for the work of the Small Team + on this issue: Motion - SubPro Supp Rec Singular/Plural - Google Docs<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ynihMgb5yrdf4agtbqtP9x77LX73q6_Mxj1tzZD…> We have a team deadline of this Friday at end of business to get a final version complete (or not, if we can't get there). I will get that turned around to Council ASAP so that we all have as much time as possible to consider it before next Thursday. Hopefully, that all goes timely and well and we can put this in the rearview mirror on Thursday. If not, we may need to have this be a discussion on Thursday and a prompt email vote thereafter. We'll see. I'm submitting it this was in order to maximize optionality. By copy of this email, I am asking Staff to amend this item from a Discussion to a Vote, because I am a diehard optimist. Thanks all! Stay tuned. Best, Paul [cid:image001.jpg@01DAE1D5.566898B0] Paul McGrady Partner Elster & McGrady 3847 N.
