Dear all,
I am a newcomer to this group / mailing list and generally to ICANN work.
I recently joined the first Pilot Transition Program (based on Applicant Support Program), and during our call this past week, Edmon Chung was introduced as the only "successful" applicant (DotKids, DotAsia).

Hi  Evan and Sarah,

It would be helpful for us if we get the information on the number of applications of earlier zero successful applicants under the original program.

+1.

I saw the announcement, responded and volunteered to assist. Not even an acknowledgement.

FWIW, both Evan and I served time on the original WG. For full disclosure, the NCSG membership served on the WG as well.

I hope you are doing well. As you may be aware, the Applicant Support Program was developed to ensure worldwide accessibility and competition in the 2012 new generic top-level domain (gTLD) Program. It enabled new gTLD applicants meeting certain qualifying criteria to receive financial and non-financial support. 

Actually, it didn't enable anyone, there were zero successful applicants under the original program. Much work was spent on the program with no effective benefit (except for painful lessons learned by the team).

The GNSO Council determined that the provision of guidance for the next round is best accomplished via the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP).

How benevolent of them, considering that Applicant Support was started as an ALAC/GAC initiative, initially with explicit LACK of GNSO support and in some corners active hostility.

When did the GNSO acquire the ability to impose its "guidance" on the Advisory Committees? I must have missed that direction in the Bylaws.
