Greetings ASP-IRT members,

I hope this finds you all well. We'd like to share that we recently published a draft Support Applicant Review Panel (SARP) ASP Evaluation Guide on the ASP website:

For convenience, here's the excerpt from the webpage: 

As a complementary document to the ASP Handbook ICANN has drafted an Evaluation Guide intended for ASP evaluation panelists. This guide will help to ensure consistent, objective evaluations across multiple panelists and applications–using the criteria and indicators from the ASP Handbook.

The draft Evaluation Guide provides a side-by-side view of what was asked to the ASP applicant and guidance on how the SARP panelists can assess each application in a consistent manner. ICANN is publishing the draft guide for transparency purposes. If updates are made to this document they will be posted here for transparency.

         SARP ASP Evaluation Guide - version dated (28 February 2025)

If you have questions or comments, please feel free to share them on-list or contact myself or Samantha directly, of course. Safe travels if you’re headed to Seattle and I hope to see many of you there!
