Hi Joy,

The NPOC is currently drafting the written testimony to be submitted to the US Senate.  We must submit by the end of the day on Wednesday, December 14th.  We will forward the written testimony to the NCSG-discuss list when it is ready.

Kind regards,
Amber

Subject: [NCSG-Discuss] New GTLDs: Upcoming GNSO Council Meeting


Hi all - as you know the next GNSO Council meeting will be next week. The Chair has asked for an update on the Senate hearings on gTLDs that are currently taking place <link?> I've just noticed that some NCSG members were invited by the Committee to make submissions http://forum.icann.org/lists/npoc-voice/msg00064.html and will do so tomorrow: http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/12/06/ymca-testimony-senate-hearing

As GNSO councillors representing this SG, we would appreciate knowing (before the GNSO meeting) if any others are also making submissions and, if so, what those submissions are. If there are any particular issues you want to be raised or for any of us Councillors to be aware of, please let us know.

Kind regards
