Folks
Having gone through the Report and Appendix C, the issues
that ALAC has been concerned with before and - I am suggesting -
should concentrate on in its response include:
Community Priority Evaluations
These applicants had priority, but the definition was narrow
and few applications made it through on this. The definition
needs to be revisited, and the evaluation more transparent and
predictable- and finalised BEFORE evaluation
Metrics
Unde the general heading, the question is asked whether there
should be success metrics. We said - and I believe should
continue to say - have metrics as to what success looks like
from an ALAC perspective.
PICS
Under global public interest, the question is asked whether
there should continue to be PICS. They are there because we
argued for them - and still should
Applications from outside the US/Europe
We expressed concern that most of the applications came from
the US and, to a lesser extent, Europe. We said this came down
to a number of factors, including
- Length and complexity of Applicant Guidebook - it should
be more accessible, comprehensible, in different languages
- Need for applicant support - maybe a dedicated round for
developing countries
- Possibility of variable fees
IDNs
The report mentions need for further work to be done on
Universal Acceptance
Happy to discuss
Holly
