Guideline E states, “The application submission date will be at least
four months after the issue of the Request for Proposal and ICANN will promote
the opening of the application round.” (See Final Report, Part A,
Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains, dated 8 August 2007 at <a
href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm#_Toc43798015"
target="_blank" title="(external link)">http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm#_Toc43798015</a>
) <br>
The intent of the GNSO with regard to Guideline E was to attempt to ensure that
all potential applicants, including those that have not been active in recent
ICANN activities regarding the introduction of new gTLDs, would be informed of
the process and have reasonable time to prepare a proposal if they so desire. <br>
The minimum 4-month period for promoting the opening of the application round
is commonly referred to as the ‘Communications Period’. <br>
Considerable delays have been incurred in the implementation of new gTLDs and
the GNSO wishes to minimize any further delays. <br>
It appears evident that a second Draft Applicant Guidebook (RFP) will be posted
at some time after the end of the two 45-day public comment periods related to
the initial version of the Guidebook (in English and other languages). <br>
Resolve:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The GNSO
Council changes Implementation Guideline E to the following: * Best efforts
will be made to ensure that the second Draft Applicant Guidebook is posted for
public comment at least 14 days before the first international meeting of 2009,
to be held in Mexico from March 1 to March 6. * ICANN will initiate the
Communications Period at the same time that the second Draft Applicant
Guidebook is posted for public comment. * The opening of the initial
application round will occur no earlier than four (4) months after the start of
the Communications Period and no earlier than 30 days after the posting of the
final Applicant Guidebook (RFP). * As applicable, promotions for the opening of
the initial application round will include: * Announcement about the public
comment period following the posting of the second Draft Applicant Guidebook
(RFP) * Information about the steps that will follow the comment period
including approval and posting of the final Applicant<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
