I think it would be a good idea to discuss digital archery, batching 
etc.  See letter from GAC to Board, attached.

Digital archery was meant to objective and fair, seems (and this 
worth checking) that it is possible to provide solution that will 
consistently get within a couple of milliseconds of the target time. 
And that's a service applicants have to pay for:  unfair.

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45OrB-VJdcA>  Pool and others offer similar.

Implications of the GAC's letter:

"Given the delays to the gTLD application process, the timing of 
upcoming ICANN meetings, and the amount of work involved, the GAC 
advises the Board that it will not be in a position to offer any 
advice on new gTLD applications in 2012. For this reason, the GAC is 
considering the implications of providing any GAC advice on gTLD 
applications. These considerations are not expected to be finalised 
before the Asia-Pacific meeting in April 2013."

worth a chat.

Best,

Adam
