The first question posed by the Charter for The New gTLD Subsequent
Procedures PDP Working Group is:<br><br>
<i>Cancelling Subsequent Procedures: Should there in fact be new gTLD
subsequent procedures and if not, what are the justifications for and
ramifications of discontinuing the program?<br><br>

I tend to align with Olivier's reservations. I think the first question
should have been to ask whether a new round is required. <br><br>
I believe the outcome of that should indeed determine whether to proceed
or not. A PC to the community on this should be a step forward, so board
can receive formal view of SO/AC for her decision making.<br><br>

<dd>Dear Rinalia,<br><br>
<dd>I must admit that I am very surprised with the language used in your
request and the questions that are asked. There are currently several
processes which need to complete before a "next round" is even
thought of. The CCT-RT and the "New gTLD Subsequent Round PDP"
are very careful indeed in not presuming that a next round is going to
happen, yet the language which you use in your email appears to point
toward the fact that the Board is already intent on starting a "next
round". Worse still it asks the unbelievable question of whether we
should set a target date to work towards to initiate a next round? That
would indeed be the best way to repeat all of the mistakes that were done
in the current round and to irritate more governments and end users. The
issue of a "next round" is so unwelcome at present that if the
term "next round" is used in the CCT-RT, they need to put a
dollar in a virtual swear box as a penalty.<br><br>
<dd>Judging from your email, I am in fear that the Board, in its current
wisdom, is far removed from understanding the current greed and lack of
public interest found from the current round of new gTLDs. I am
flabbergasted.<br><br>
<dd>Kindest regards,<br><br>
<dd>Olivier<br><br>

<dd>Dear ALAC, <br><br>
<dd>In Helsinki, the Board will meet to discuss the outlook for the next
round of the new gTLD Program. To support our discussions, we would
like to be informed by stakeholder views.<br>
<dd>I have been requested to obtain the view of the ALAC. Would it
be possible for the ALAC to provide a snapshot of its views on this topic
in one slide? Please note that this information and presentation
format would be applied to each stakeholder group's views.<br><br>
<dd>Some questions to guide you:<br>
<dd>1. Initiation of next round - do you think a date should be
identified so that ICANN has a target to work towards? <br>
<dd>2. Requirements for round initiation - what do you think should be in
place before the next round is initiated?<br>
<dd>3. Improvements - what elements of the new gTLD program should be
improved for next round? <br>
<dd>4. Other aspects that are of concern to the ALAC?<br><br>
<dd>For the Board to have a chance to review the slide before its
discussion, it would be good to receive the slide by 23 June 2016
latest.<br><br>
<dd>I do understand that this is short notice. If you do not have
sufficient time to develop a formal position, informal input would be
sufficient at this time and it would be appreciated.<br>
<dd>The Board is likely to revisit the topic again during its workshop in
September. There is thus another chance to provide a more extensive
view, but for now the Board would just like to have a sense from the
community on the topic to guide its early deliberations. <br><br>
<dd>Thank you in advance and apologies for the short notice.
<br><br>
<dd>Best regards,<br><br>
<dd>Rinalia<br><br>
<dd>on behalf of the ICANN Board<br>
<dd> <br><br>
