Dear WG Members, You may be aware that Work Track 4 has sought to investigate ways in which the Financial and Technical & Operational questions could be improved, with the goal of reducing the number of clarifying questions that would be needed in the future. ICANN Org has consolidated materials (FAQs, Knowledge Articles, Reference Materials, and Supplemental Notes) and just recently made them available to Work Track 4 here: https://community.icann.org/x/gggFBQ. As the full WG may find these materials useful as well, we are making you aware of their availability. Please see the email thread below for additional detail. If you have any questions, please let me know.

The information/resources can also be found on the topic specific Wiki page here: https://community.icann.org/x/YT2AAw Best, Steve ** As per your request sent via Steve Chan on 9 February 2018, attached is a compilation of existing and published information and resources regarding application questions and clarifying questions. Please note that the Supplemental Notes information referenced in the document is not yet available. This information was hosted in our old CRM system, which has been decommissioned. It is taking longer than we thought to bring this system back up online, but we continue to work with our IT team on this. We will provide you with the links to the Supplemental Notes for all application questions once the system is back up online. In the meantime, we are sending you all other information and resources relevant to this request.
