[At-Large] Summary for New gTLDs Workshop at ICANN LA Meeting

[Denise Michel]

Attached is a summary of the GNSO's Final Report on the Introduction of 
New Top-Level Domains for the At-Large community's consideration and use 
at the GNSO's New gTLD Workshop in Los Angeles on Monday, 29 October, 
13:00 - 19:00. This document summarizes the recommendations contained in 
the Report and notes other work under way to facilitate the introduction 
of new gTLDs in an orderly and transparent way. Where particularly 
applicable, it also attempts to briefly provide information about 
various issues considered by the GNSO Committee and the rationale behind 
the final wording of principles, recommendations and implementation 
guidelines.  The Report was approved by the GNSO Council last month and 
is being sent to ICANN's Board for consideration (it is posted at 
<http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm>).

This document is meant to provide a concise and easy to read summary of 
the key elements of the Report, and is organized to correspond with the 
Workshop sessions.   At-Large participants are encouraged to consider 
the summary, and the Report, and submit questions in advance that they 
would like the Workshop panelists to address on the 29th.  *Questions 
should be emailed to <new-gtlds-workshop at icann.org> or submitted via the 
on line comment form found on the Workshop web page at 
<http://losangeles2007.icann.org/node/45>.*  Questions will be publicly 
posted and provided to the Workshop moderator and panelists.

As previously noted, ALAC, RALO and At-Large Structure participants are 
invited to attend (or participate remotely in) the special, interactive 
workshop at ICANN's Los Angeles meeting focused on the GNSO Council's 
final report on the introduction of new gTLDs.  The workshop will 
feature extensive opportunities for audience comments and questions and 
Council responses.

We look forward to your involvement.

Regards,

Denise Michel
