Dear NARALO Members, We would like your feedback regarding issues relating to *Applicant Support *for New gTLD applicants in the upcoming next round of New gTLDs. The purpose of Applicant Support is to broaden the potential applicant pool and to encourage more diverse applicants for New gTLDs. Specifically, we are looking for responses to concerns the ICANN Board has raised on *Subsequent Procedures PDP Recommendation 17.2*, which addresses the scope of financial resources offered to qualified applicants for applicant support. The draft ALAC Statement can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fXWzGyf7uI1fUgt_RXtvl5mPLBiMDT5OgBAkj9KK... . Please refer to the background information in this document for a greater understanding of the issues. You can provide comments by responding to this email or by making comments (in suggest-mode) directly in the Google Doc *where * *prompted*, no later than *26 July 2023*. Please feel free to contact NARALO Leadership (Greg Shatan and Glenn McKnight) as well as Justine Chew (ALAC Liaison to the GNSO) (justine .chew.icann@gmail.com) should you have questions regarding this call for input. Thanks! Greg -- *Greg Shatan* *Chair, NARALO*
