- Can in kind contributions be figured in when using a matching fund model
- Public - Private partnerships
- Principle of Addtionality: need to show that this realtes to the cc
- What is the benefit in expression: of a top level domain versus a second level domain.

Notes from 15 Feb 2011
- Many people do not accept that someone with need could possibly be qualified
- Need to get started writing the donor case and letters
Update given 1 April 2011
- No progress on letter campaign
- Some progress on individual nation based donor - 1 potential donor creating foundation that may work with ICANN once it establishes its procedures and criteria.
