<DIV></DIV>Hi Chuck,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The main area of worry that I see remains the ever-delaying new gTLD
program.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Would it be appropriate to suggest a topic along those lines (perhaps
something like: "are delays to the new gTLD program hurting it and ICANN as a
whole", or something more neutral like "suggestions to solve remaining
overarching issues in 2010 and avoid further delays spilling into
2011")?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I realize some may not feel at ease being upfront about this. However, I
do think GNSO Principle A is getting more and more often overlooked as time
passes and that reminders that the GNSO's first focus was on the new gTLDs
being introduced in a "<SPAN class=Apple-style-span
style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">orderly, timely and
predictable way", the operative words here being timely and predictable,
are warranted.</SPAN></DIV>

class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 13px">I'm sure we all realise that
for prospective applicants, the current process is neither timely nor
predictable...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
