The leadership team of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy
Development Process Working Group is *seeking your input* on the issue
of *geographic names at the top level*. *All are welcome *and encouraged
to participate and contribute their perspectives.

The following upcoming activities are intended to facilitate a broad
community-wide dialogue on this topic to feed into the New gTLD
Subsequent Procedures PDP:

*Webinar session on Tuesday 25 April 2017* – Two webinars will take
place; one from 15:00-17:00 UTC and the second from 22:00-0:00 UTC. All
community members are welcome to submit positions on the treatment of
geographic names at the top level to be presented in the webinars.
Depending on the number of positions submitted, the sessions may contain
the same presentations or different presentations. The webinars will be
recorded and archived. Details will follow.

  * *If you would like to attend the webinar, *please
    email [log in to unmask]

    but your response will help us plan and will allow us to send
    updates to you.

    please send an email by _7 April 2017_* with your name, group or
    affiliation (if applicable), and your time zone

    will be asked to prepare a 10 minute initial presentation and be
    available to answer questions on the webinar. We suggest preparing a
    maximum of 5 slides. If, in addition to the slides, you would like
    to make a more complete written contribution available, you may do
    so, and we will distribute those to each of the attendees and make
    them available to the public. Please send all slides and other
    contributions to [log in to unmask]
    <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

The webinar will be the beginning of a discussion that will continue at
ICANN59. The leadership team will be holding an *extended session in
Johannesburg to work through the positions presented in the webinars and
to propose solutions* seeking common ground on a way forward.
