 ICANN Consultation on New gTLD Registry Agreement

15 December 2009

ICANN invites community participation in an open consultation regarding the
proposed registry agreement for new gTLDs. This meeting is being organized
in response to a commitment made by ICANN at its meetings in Seoul to
continue discussions with the community about open issues in the agreement,
including the process for amending the agreement, aspects of registry
services reviews, and restrictions on registry operators' ability to
distribute names through affiliated registrars (e.g., vertical separation).

The consultation will be held on Thursday, 7 January 2010, from 14:00 to
20:00 UTC (http://timeanddate.com/s/1gwx). A conference call bridge and
Adobe Connect access will be available for this discussion and all
interested parties are encouraged to participate. ICANN will facilitate this
discussion from Washington, DC and space will be available to accommodate
some in-person participation.

The reference materials for the consultation include the Registry Agreement
published in Draft Applicant Guidebook v3 viewable at
