> The ICANN79 meeting took place from March 2 to March 7, 2024, and
> comprised various sessions significant to the interests of the end-user
> community. The GAC held successful meetings with the Board, Address
> Supporting Organization (ASO), Generic Names Supporting Organization
> (GNSO), Contracted Parties House (CPH), Nominating Committee (NomCom), and
> Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG). These sessions covered a wide
> array of topics, reflecting the diverse interests and responsibilities
> within the ICANN community.
>
> The designated GAC and ALAC bilateral meeting, held on March 3, 2024,
> featured interventions from both committees, including Rosalind Kennybirch
> and Tracy Hackshaw from the GAC, and Greg Shatan and Justine Chew from the
> ALAC. During the meeting discussed various topics, particularly focusing on
> the Applicant Support Program (ASP) for the New gTLD Program, with
> following key takeaways:
>
> - Discussions centered around revisiting challenges from the 2012
> Round of the New gTLD Program and addressing them through different
> components of the ASP. Key points included an overview of the ASP, insights
> into ALAC and GAC perspectives, and elaboration on pending components such
> as SubPro Supplemental Recommendation 17.2. The session aimed to provide
> clarity on the rationale behind the ASP, address challenges for the next
> round, and propose holistic approaches to its implementation.
> - Overall, the meeting underscored collaborative efforts between the
> GAC and ALAC in shaping the ASP for the next round of the New gTLD Program.
> Additional discussions covered topics such as program communications,
> funding, and structure, reflecting a commitment to addressing key issues
> for the successful implementation of the ASP.
> - The session highlighted the importance of stakeholder collaboration
> and proactive measures in enhancing the effectiveness of the ASP,
> ultimately contributing to the advancement of the domain name ecosystem
> within the ICANN community.

> GAC's strategic objectives, while preparations for the upcoming High-Level
> Government Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, emphasized the significance of such
> gatherings in reinforcing multistakeholder cooperation.
> - An experimental open-mic session allowed for broader engagement
> within the ICANN community, providing a platform for stakeholders to
> address the GAC directly. Topics such as DNS abuse, cost-benefit analysis
> of new gTLD programs, and registry voluntary commitments were extensively
> deliberated.
> - Regarding DNS abuse, the GAC welcomed new obligations for contracted
> parties and emphasized the importance of effective enforcement and
> reporting mechanisms. Discussions also revolved around the need for a
> comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of new gTLD programs and the
> enforceability of registry commitments, underscoring the necessity for
> careful legal analysis.
> - With regard to registration data, the GAC reiterated support for
> initiatives such as the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS) and
> emphasized the importance of accuracy in registration data for various
> legitimate interests while balancing privacy concerns.
>
> *Points of Interest for the At-Large:*

> - Further steps on applicant support were discussed, emphasizing
> collaboration between GAC and ALAC.
