There are many in the community that have issues with some of the new gTLD recommendations put forward by the GNSO Council. An ad-hoc WG is being formed to aggregate these concerns for presentation to the ICANN Board. Anyone may subscribe to this WG at http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-liaison_atlarge-lists.icann.org Details: (1) Short timeframe - WG ends on Thursday, 25 October (2) WG members will each draft comments on whatever issues they might have with certain recommendations (3) Initial comments due by 22 October (4) First draft of Final Document (incorporating all comments) by 23 October (5) Final Document by 25 October (6) ALAC reviews WG effort in LA and provides Statement to accompany the Final Document for transmission to the ICANN board. I'm counting on NCUC members to support this short-term but vitally important effort -- the future of the new gTLD rollout is at stake. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.
