Dear all, As you might recall, we discussed the issue of bid credit for supported applicants at length during meeting #99<https://community.icann.org/x/gwEiFg> and briefly during meeting #100a<https://community.icann.org/x/BgBWGQ>. While most IRT members that participated on the calls did not raise any concerns, some on the call did raise some concerns about the proposed 35% credit (see here<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=371327363&preview=/...>). We note that we did not receive any additional feedback on-list since the calls took place. We will bring this issue back to the IRT as part of reviewing language on the broader topic of contention set resolution and auctions but as there is no new information that we can provide from the org side, we are currently planning no additional time to discuss this before the final public comment period – currently scheduled to launch in mid-February. In case you have anything to raise, please feel free to do so at any time – ideally by Monday next week so we can plan call schedules accordingly. Best regards, Elisa
