Thanks Kristy!

 

I noticed one item that doesn’t quite make sense.  Section 4.5.5 re:  Micro or small-sized businesses from less-developed economies.

 

It is confusing how it is laid out.  For example, A.  the applicant’s principal place of business must be in one of the following SIDS, LDC, Econ. In transition or dev. economies.  If so, then must meet condition B. 51% ownership.   Where it gets confusing is that in C. it asks if the place of business in within Indigenous/Tribal People’s land (with no note that it is not required if you fulfil the condition in A.  Then in E, you only need to provide this if you haven’t fulfilled a, b, c and d.  But if you have met A, then you shouldn’t also have to meet D;  i.e. be in two places at the same time (SIDS AND Indigenous land–technically, it's possible but I don’t think that was the intent). 

 

So, I think we are suggesting:

You must meet condition A and B; or

You must meet condition C and D; or

You must meet condition E and F

and second question – is this in addition to (AND?):

Meeting criteria G – a micro or small-sized business

 

I hope that makes sense.  If not, please let me know.

 

Cheers,

 

Christa

Greetings ASP-IRT Sub-track members, 

 

We'd like to share that version 2 of the draft ASP Handbook has been published on the ASP section of the Next Round website: https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/en/application-rounds/round2/asp/handbook

 

It is still version 2 (and not final) due to the remaining dependencies and bracketed text. Though, we anticipate many of those remaining dependencies will be resolved in the coming weeks following Board decisions and AGB dependency discussions with the IRT. The intent was to publish the latest version of the Handbook to the website following public comment to inform potential applicants as well as the start of communications, outreach, and engagement for ASP. 

 

With regard to the additional questions and comments the sub-track provided following the public comment, I'm also attaching the set of additional comments received on-list along with ICANN org's response or action taken. 

 

As noted last week, in light of timing constraints to get the draft Handbook posted to the ASP website, we anticipated that it may be difficult to address every additional comment received. We have done our best in the time available; if any of your previous comments or suggested were not yet addressed in version 2, they will be considered for version 3 of the ASP Handbook. 

 

Please recall that we are still working on more significant structural changes to the Handbook--for instance, removing the criteria tables and replacing them with a simpler outline of criteria and indicators. 

 

It has been lovely to see many of you here this week in Kigali. Many thanks for your continued commitment and enthusiasm for the ASP. 

 

Kind regards,
Kristy, on behalf of the ASP Project Team
