[At-Large] <IMPORTANT> Draft Plan for Tuesday's AtLarge communitymeeting with ICANN Board

[Annette Muehlberg]

Draft for comment on geoTLD by Annette:



At the last ICANN Meeting in San Juan, the ALAC co-organised a well attended 
interesting workshop on geographic TLDs

We are very interested in strengthening choice and diversity especially in 
respect to regional needs of users.

One big issue of course is the implementation of IDNs.

An other isse is to work on satisfying the demand of individual users in 
local adressing and local identification.

It would be helpful if the Board would start a new round for applicants for 
new TLDs as soon as possible.

We would like to contribute by conducting research on user preferences and 
impact on the communication between public services and individual users.

In the light of the work of ICANN to make the use of the DNS more friendly 
to users, especially in respect to local needs, we appreciate very much 
initiatives for more localised top level domains.
