Council I'm going to be a bit cross-wise here. To be honest, I'd rather see us working on a "gated process" to begin moving TLD applications forward, even if it is only going to be 1 or 2 per month. Until we start accepting and processing the TLD applications, we have no real idea what requirements for staff and the associated timelines will be. Getting the application process moving seems key to me. Working on yet another set of processes that will take considerable time to sort out for "dis-advantage" (meaning is open to me anyway) applicants would only seem to add to the initial opening of the TLD process. ?? Just my thoughts, please feel free to return other options/opinions; I'm very interested in hearing them.

It is frustrating as a councillor and professional with limited time to have to keep poking... Can you please elaborate as to why this is not a friendly amendment.

Since it seems to be agreed that what is intended is to look for funding opportunities outside of ICANN's own budget to possibly resolve this concern, I would like to make that evident in the motion and propose this friendly amendment:
Add the following to the first Resolve:
keeping in mind ICANN's requirement to recover the costs of new gTLD applications and on-going services to new gTLDs
So the first Resolve would read:
Resolved, that the GNSO Council supports the formation of a joint SO/AC working group to respond to the Board's request by developing a sustainable approach to providing support to new gTLD applicants requiring assistance in applying for and operating new gTLDS, keeping in mind ICANN's requirement to recover the costs of new gTLD applications and on-going services to new gTLDs;
Tim
