Introduction:

This element of the DDP is designed to provide direct one-on-one assistance to the stakeholder group in their research, development and drafting of documents within the ICANN process.  Each participating stakeholder group is matched with a single research writer to assist with the drafting process.  Each community is given the flexibility to utilize this drafting resource in the manner which best maximizes the benefit to the community.  The research writer will provide the stakeholder group with up to 100 hours of service within the pilot program.
