[AfrICANN-discuss] ICANN -- LA meeting -- New gTLDs

[Anne-Rachel Inné]

Please mark in your calendar the New gTLDs Workshop at ICANN LA Meeting

   We hope that you will attend!

Members of your constituency are invited and encouraged to attend a
special, interactive workshop at ICANN's Los Angeles meeting focused on
the GNSO Council's final report on the introduction of new gTLDs.  The
New gTLDs Workshop will be held Monday afternoon, 29 October
(tentatively scheduled from 12:30 to 18:30).  Participants will receive
a comprehensive overview of the recommendations recently approved by
 the
GNSO Council for the introduction of new gTLDs, including the
principles, recommendations, and implementation guidelines contained in
the Council's final report that is being sent to ICANN's Board for
consideration.

The introduction of new top-level domains is a core element of ICANN's
mission. The policies that have emerged from the GNSO's policy
development process are central to establishing an open and transparent
system for the introduction of new top-level domains.  The workshop
 will
feature extensive opportunities for audience comments and questions and
Council responses.  The GNSO's final report on the introduction of new
gTLDs can be found at
<http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm>
(Part A) and
<http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-partb-01aug07.htm>
(Part B).

As Council members develop the workshop's agenda, more detailed
information will be emailed.

We look forward to seeing you in LA.

Regards,

Denise Michel
Vice President, Policy Development
