Hi Julf,
Here are some documents as background to the three points raised below:
1) Our Community Comments of February with deep concerns about Registry Voluntary Commitments and the proposed ICANN Framework that features "enforcement," but not a systematic process for ICANN Org to review and reject proposed unacceptable RVCs. NCSG has shared a six point guide for how ICANN might review RVCs. What does Sally think? I should add, as you know, that we are very concerned that ICANN not accept any "voluntary commitment" unless they are clearly within the scope of ICANN's 2016 Bylaws, and thus not involving content, unduly impeding competition for who can register domain names, nor bypassing the Multistakeholder Model (comments attached).
2) Funding for engagement and mentorship opportunities. No docs, just being told there is none there. Is that true? What can we do about it?
3) Our Applicant Support Program comments. How do we make the ASP Handbook more readable and the entire ASP program more approachable? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LwuZfcvtEfpzEnMjKd3g-8KeI5NSL3ybKX-HrSyxI4Q/edit \
Best regards,
Kathy

There is much to discuss with Sally! Registry Voluntary Commitments and our concerns that they will be used to undercut ICANN's Bylaws and Multistakeholder Process. I will send additional materials to you (and NCSG) from our comments in February shortly.
Also funding from ICANN for recruitment and engagement activities. Amounts seem to have gone to near zero, and yet, we need volunteers in ICANN more than ever. Where and how will we get them?
Plus, readable and accessibility of the Applicant Support Program, its Handbook, and its application processes, per our recent comments. (I'll send this shortly too).
Best and tx,
Kathy
