Here is the output of my review for consideration

Community Applications

[1] At page 160, Implementation Guideline 34.3 re: Criterion 1-A Delineation.
Although the text draws attention to the need for a non-exhaustive list to include elements applicable to communities that are not economic in nature, it does not explicit touch on 5 other points that I believe the WG discussed, which are:

• Communities that are not economic in nature may not have clear and straight-forward membership definition and this should to not disadvantage such communities in terms of scoring as compared to economic communities with clear and straight-forward membership, that both types of communities should be able to score equally well
• The extremity between "clear and straight-forward membership" scoring high and "vague, dispersed or unbound definition" scoring zero be mediated through an acknowledgment that a grouping without a clear and straight-forward membership but could still be found to be reasonably delineated may still receive a low score instead of zero.
• I also recall that the term "membership" in reference to non-economic communities was problematic
• Where could we explicitly introduce community-related expertise to the CPE process, especially to assist in evaluating non-economic communities for the delineation criterion where "community-related expertise" could be represented by an International Organization specializing in a certain field or a relevant subject matter / community expert of regional or international standing?
• Redress for the requirement of "awareness and recognition of the community by its members" where such awareness and/or recognition could be alternatively provided by community-related expertise, especially in cases where awareness or recognition by the so-called members cannot be properly measured (eg, prevented by national law to recognise something)   

[2] At page 160, Implementation Guidance 34.4 re: the "Organized" element in Criterion 1-A Delineation
While the redress for term "mainly" as being permissibly applied to more than one entity appears, redress for the term "administer" does not. I recall having discussed adding the "advocate" verb because an applicant may not fit the role of administrator for a community. I suggest that the reference to "administer" be augmented to "administer or advocate for".  Perhaps an alternative might be "represent" instead of "administer" as used in Implementation Guidance 34.8.

[3] The proposal to increase community participation or input in ICANN's engagement of CPE service provider/panellists is pending further discussion. 

[4] Reference to lowering of the threshold to prevail in CPE, which if I recall correctly was offered by more than one commenter, is omitted.  

Thanks,
Justine
