Re: [Subpro-irt-asp] DRAFT ASP Handbook for ASP-IRT
Thank you Kristy, I have a few comments on your edit proposals for the handbook: Page 20: You propose to take the average between US$ 3m and 15m as required total assets (the same for annual sales). We should be careful not to raise this to a high amount that will prevent the real applicants in need of support to be eligible. Page 21: You say that it’s not clear how to find objective indicators to evaluate the lake of well-developed DNS industry or economy (GAC definition of “under-served”). Isn’t the number of registries/registrars/resellers/…. In the considered country/region/territory enough to demonstrate it? Page 21: As for the awareness of ICANN and its role (GAC definition of “under-served”), the participation of the citizens of the considered country in ICANN (and its community) activities, face to face or online, may be an element of evaluation of this awareness Page 21: Principal place of business for applicants from less developed economies: in my opinion, all officers should be from and live in the place of business and not the largest number of them only. Best Tijani De : Subpro-irt-asp <subpro-irt-asp-bounces@icann.org> au nom de Kristy Buckley <kristy.buckley@icann.org> Date : lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 19:47 À : "subpro-irt-asp@icann.org" <subpro-irt-asp@icann.org> Objet : [Subpro-irt-asp] DRAFT ASP Handbook for ASP-IRT Greetings ASP-IRT colleagues, Wishing you all a healthy start to 2024 and we look forward to continuing to work together this year. In preparation for our upcoming ASP-IRT meetings this week, please find the draft ASP Handbook attached. It will also be posted on the wiki. As you review the Handbook, you will note that the criteria, indicators, and flowcharts we reviewed in December are embedded throughout. Based upon your collective feedback, ICANN org has made some suggested edits to the criteria and indicators which are noted in suggestion mode. Throughout the handbook, you will also note questions or comments to the IRT which we hope to bring to our discussions later this week. For our first session this week, we will plan to start with the proposed changes to the criteria and indicators section and then move on to other parts of the handbook with a focus on the questions and comments to the IRT so we have a chance to get quick feedback on those. We realize this is a longer document and we will be sure to cover it all as a group during our meetings, noting that we may need to schedule additional meetings to do so. We hope to keep our meetings focused on the section(s) at hand so we can get through it as efficiently as possible. Many thanks in advance for your time and we look forward to meeting with you all soon.

Not necessarily, Tijani. Let’s take the example of Brazil: there are 0 ICANN-Accredited registrars in the country, even with a population of 200M+. Does that make Brazil underserved ? In fact not, because most domains registered in the country are from the local ccTLD and ICANN has no way to measure the cc space. I do believe Brazil to be an underserved country due to low per capita GDP, but its local DNS industry is strong and more similar to UK or Germany.
Page 21: Principal place of business for applicants from less developed economies: in my opinion, all officers should be from and live in the place of business and not the largest number of them only.
Curiously, two of our officers were born abroad (one in Italy, one in Germany), so that would automatically disqualify us… not that we will be applying to ASP (we don’t qualify since already being a contracted party), but its just anecdotal evidence that org (I’m trying to use the new style of ICANN org instead of ICANN Org) is suggesting a good trade-off here.

Does anyone have an objection to adding a bullet point that will qualify the applicant under this category if it is a micro or small sized business whose "principal place of business" is located on "indigenous tribal lands"? This would be regardless of country or territory in which those lands are located. I think it's fair to assume that the UN may not have taken these economies into account in developing its lists.
