I agree with Tijani. Application criteria can be directly related to the region.FarzanehOn Sun, Sep 9, 2018 at 4:06 AM Tijani BEN JEMAA <tijani.benjemaa@topnet.tn> wrote:Thank you Zied for your proposal.--The aim of the ME Space is to address topics under discussion at ICANN and provide the opinion of the region thereupon to the ICANN Board and the other concerned parties to make the voice of our region heard by the decision makers.The initial report of the new gTLD subsequent procedures PDP WG WT 1 to 4 is now under public comment. So, it’s a perfect choice for us to address it. But this report include several very important topics such as Application fees, Community application, Applicant support, consecutive rounds vs open round, etc. If we address them all, we will not be able to go deeply in each of them and our statement will be superficial. I propose to choose only one topic that is the most important for our region. I propose the Applicant support since for the 2012 round very few applications from our region were submitted, and the applicant support program had very tough eligibility criteria that led to zero applicant supported while we had money to support up to 14 applicants.So, I think we can have the applicant support as the topic for ICANN 63 ME Space.What do you think?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Tijani BEN JEMAAExecutive DirectorMediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI)Phone: +216 98 330 114+216 52 385 114-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Le 7 sept. 2018 à 19:00, Zied BOUZIRI <zied.bouziri@gmail.com> a écrit :Dear TijaniThank you for your initiativeI vote for "new gTLD subsequent procedures PDP"Best regardsLe ven. 7 sept. 2018 à 12:59, Tijani BEN JEMAA <tijani.benjemaa@topnet.tn> a écrit :Dear all,I’m so surprised to see no reaction to my call for topics for the ME Space at ICANN 63.

I think we have several choices since we are now commenting on the preliminary report of the new gTLD subsequent procedures PDP working group (open round or consecutive rounds, Universal acceptance, Application fees, Applicant support, Community applications, etc…). We have also the Geographic names.Also, we have the EPDP working now and we may decide to provide our opinion as a region on several parts to the EPDP (data collection, processing, transfer, retention, and access to non public data). So we have a very large range of topics that we can choose to address.Please give your preference by Monday 10 September 23:59 UTC.This the timeline:04 - 10 September: Call for topics11 September: Announcement of the selected Topic11 - 15 September: Call for drafting team members16 September: Announcement of the drafting team and starting of drafting the statement26 September 1st draft of the statement published & Opening of the comment period03 October: Closing of the comment period04 - 08 October: Drafting of the final version09 October: Final draft published-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Tijani BEN JEMAAExecutive DirectorMediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI)Phone: +216 98 330 114+216 52 385 114-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
