Dear Middle East Space Members, Thank you for your participation to ME Space session at ICANN81. It was a great pleasure to see you in person and online. As requested, below you may see the links to the referred topics: Next Round of GTLD, Applicant Support Program (ASP), Infermal Project and OCTO SIRT. * Recent blog on ASP applicant readiness materials: https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-resources-available-to-prepare-... * The SubPro Final Report policy recommendation 17.1 indicates that the Applicant Support Program should be open to applicants regardless of their location. Excerpt: “The Working Group notes, however, that the Applicant Support Program was not limited to least developed countries in the 2012 round and believes that the Program should continue to be open to applicants regardless of their location as long as they meet other program criteria.” From p.72 of the SubPro Final Report: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/final-repo... * The ASP team presented the plan for longer-term financial support to supported Registry Operators to the ASP-IRT in August of this year.
