for Proposal and ICANN will promote the opening of the application round.”

dated 8 August 2007 at <A title="(external link)"

) <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 face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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>
