<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I understood we are still debating it under the GNSO-newgTLD-WG, where an important number of At Large members are also participating. I believe WG was create to answer those questions..
we are in the middle of this process with weekly calls.. guess we can not go faster than that.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear ALAC, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Some questions to guide you:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Initiation of next round - do you think a date should be identified so that ICANN has a target to work towards?
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Requirements for round initiation - what do you think should be in place before the next round is initiated?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Improvements - what elements of the new gTLD program should be improved for next round?
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">4. Other aspects that are of concern to the ALAC?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thank you in advance and apologies for the short notice.
