[ALT-Plus] [ALAC-Members] Meeting with other groups in Kobe

[Marita Moll]

Hi Maureen. Here's a possible topic for a session with GNSO. I was 
reading the International Center for Dispute Resolution case re: Afilias 
and ICANN and the following information was provided re: GNSO policy 
recommendations re: the a new gTLD program:

"The New gTLD Program has produced ICANN’s most ambitious expansion of 
the Internet’s naming system. Under the Program, any interested party 
could apply for the opportunity to operate new gTLDs that were not 
already in use in the DNS, meaning that there was no cap on the number 
of new gTLDs that could be added to the Internet. The Program was 
designed to enhance diversity, creativity and consumer choice in gTLDs, 
and to provide the benefits of innovation to consumers./The Program 
arose from policy recommendations by ICANN’s Generic Names Supporting 
Organization (“GNSO”), which were based on community input during the 
period 2005-2007. On 26 June 2008, the ICANN Board adopted the GNSO’s 
policy recommendations and directed the ICANN organization to develop an 
implementation plan for the Program, to be provided to the Board for 
approval" (italics added)
/

Given the fact that At-large is asking if there really is a need/demand 
for another round, where that demand is coming from and what is the 
benefit to end users of more gTLDs -- maybe this might be a topic that 
could be explored.
