The Applicant Support Program (ASP) is a program that was conceptualized by the Joint Applicant Support Working Group ([[JASWG]]) in order to provide a discount for needy gTLD applicants, to ensure worldwide accessibility to, and competition within, the the New gTLD Program. Acceptance to the program reduces the application fee from $185,000 to $47,000.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/board-briefing-materials-3-05jan12-en.pdf SARP (Support Applicant Review Panel) Process Document, icann.org]</ref>

===Opening of Application Window===
On January 19, 2012, just a week after [[ICANN]] opened the application window for new gTLDs, it reported that 25 companies had created accounts and registered for new gTLDs on the TAS system. This, however, does not indicate how many applications were filed, given that each TAS account can handle up to 50 separate applications. One company, [[Minds + Machines]], disclosed that they had already registered for 20 extensions on behalf of their clients.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/25-companies-register-for-new-gtlds/ 25 companies Register for New gTLDs, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
