<br>
May I suggest that the GNSO’s position should be to request for the
planned implementation agenda to be kept on track, which is exactly what that
sentence says?<br>
<br>
There are also a lot of comments from the community strongly requesting that no
further time be lost or, indeed, that the process be sped up.<br>
<br>
As the new TLD program stems from the GNSO, it would not seem out of place for
the GNSO to strive towards a timely implementation of this program.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Would you consider it a friendly amendment to remove this language, given the
overwhelming public comment to the contrary?<br>
<br>
</span></font>Considerable delays have been incurred in the implementation of
new gTLDs and the GNSO wishes to minimize any further delays.<br>
<font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

The BC probably cannot support this motion anyway, but if it passes it would be
more palatable to the community without this potentially inflammatory language.<br>

</span></font>Implementation 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">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:<br>
<font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'><br>
</span></font>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<br>
<font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'><br>
</span></font>Guidebook (RFP) * Estimates of when the initial application round
will begin. <o:p></o:p></p>
