Hi, A comment period opened 22 Mar - lasting until 1 May for answers to a multitude of questions about the next new gTLD application process/procedure. https://www.icann.org/public-comments/cc2-new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-2017-03-22-en While I do not expect that the NCSG, or any group, has views on all the topics, and there is no need to answer every question, it seems like NCSG members may have views on at least some of these issues. Note: the questions have been translated into 5 langauges https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/cc2-subsequent-procedures-22mar17-en.pdf https://gnso.icann.org/ar/issues/new-gtlds/cc2-subsequent-procedures-22mar17-ar.pdf https://gnso.icann.org/es/issues/new-gtlds/cc2-subsequent-procedures-22mar17-es.pdf https://gnso.icann.org/fr/issues/new-gtlds/cc2-subsequent-procedures-22mar17-fr.pdf https://gnso.icann.org/ru/issues/new-gtlds/cc2-subsequent-procedures-22mar17-ru.pdf https://gnso.icann.org/zh/issues/new-gtlds/cc2-subsequent-procedures-22mar17-zh.pdf As one of the co-chairs in the working group I encourage anyone who has a comment on even one of the issues to submit it - no need to wait for a NCSG consensus comment. As a long time member of the NCSG, I would be very happy to see a consensus comment come in from the NCSG. thanks avri --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
