<DIV></DIV>Understood. Not sure it was ever communicated that way to the
Council as<BR>a whole, and since it doesn't even mention sTLDs it's difficult
to see<BR>how it even comes close to fulfilling what was asked for.

<BR>> Â <BR>> Jeff,<BR>> <BR>> That is not the briefing paper
for amending sTLD charters. It refers<BR>> only to the new Community gTLDs.
There are some similarities between<BR>> sTLDs and Community gTLDs, but
there are major differences in their<BR>> structure and how they were/are
allocated. IMO, amending a sTLD charter<BR>> is a fundamentally different
issue than the Community gTLD Change<BR>> discussed in the paper you refer
to.<BR>> <BR>> Tim<BR>> <BR>> > -------- Original Message

> 4 The BGC also thinks that the Board should address the need for a
process to evaluate amendments that may have the effect of changing, or
seeking to change, an sTLD Charter or Stated Purpose of a sponsored,
restricted or community-based TLD. Because such a process may impact gTLDs
greatly and is a policy issue, the GNSO is the natural starting point for
evaluating such a process. We therefore further recommend that the Board
direct the CEO to create a briefing paper for the GNSO to consider on this
matter, and for the GNSO to determine whether a policy development process
should be commenced.�� <BR>> > <BR>> >
