Hello,

Would the applicant support program help applicants meet technical obligations/requirements for the gTLD qualification? Are there plans to reserve some gTLDs for this specific category of applicants or would they have to compete for all gTLDs with other applicants globally?

Glenn,

Just to clarify, the funds will still be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, but the Board has decided that if there are additional entities that qualify after the max has been reached, they will use their best efforts to secure additional funding.

As per the presentation today at the NARALO ICANN 80 Readout  Jeff Neumann  detailed this decision and he clarified that the funds will " not" be distributed on a first in approach.  Good news for that.
