Webinar on the Initial Evaluation of New gTLD Applications

The initial evaluation phase of the new generic top-level domain
program began on 12 July 2012, and evaluation panels are now
processing applications using the criteria in the Applicant Guidebook.

Throughout the evaluation process, ICANN will provide regular updates
to applicants. One method we plan to use is monthly webinar sessions.

This first session will be set for 90 minutes with an opportunity for
questions and answers. The sessions will provide updates on evaluation
progress, program developments, and other topics of interest to new
gTLD applicants. The sessions will be open BUT opportunity for
questions will be reserved for applicants.

The first webinar will provide:

Information and updates on the various elements of the evaluation process
Early evaluation indications and implications for applicants
Discussion of the "batching" issue and its impact on the timing of delegations.
