<P class=MsoNormal><BR>Dear all,<o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>The new gTLD program will have a significant impact on
the functioning of ICANN and its structure. An in-depth community discussion
is needed to identify early the corresponding challenges and possible
evolutions. It should be conducted while the gTLD program itself is being
implemented, without waiting for the completion of this round. This should
in particular be taken into account in the upcoming gNSO review, planned in
2013.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>As you probably remember, this issue was therefore put on
the agenda of the various Board interactions with SOs, ACs and
constituencies during the Prague meeting. Several issues were
identified during these discussions, pertaining both to scalability factors
(due to the number of applications) and qualitative impact (including the
diversity of the new gTLDs and the potential overlapping of the
constituencies they could belong to).<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>At the end of each such session, <B>Steve Crocker invited
participants to share a one-pager on this topic</B> to gather preliminary
views and help prepare a dedicated session in
Toronto. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am writing to you as Chairs of the respective SOs, ACs,
Stakeholder Groups or Constituencies to renew this call for input. The Board
Structural Improvements Committee (SIC), chaired by Ray Plzak, will discuss
the topic during the Board Workshop mid-September and your perspective is
eagerly sought after. The contributions can be very synthetic at that stage,
for instance merely listing bullet points of identified potential impacts.
The objective is to get as complete a picture as possible of the different
dimensions of the issue.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I know the summer period is not the easiest to gather
views in you respective groups but I also understand that this has already
been discussed before Prague and you probably are in a position to share the
concerns already identified, if not the possible solutions. This is only a
preliminary stage and further consultations will take place to prepare the
Toronto session. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance for your contribution, <B>if
possible before September 10</B>, and don't hesitate to share this call for
input with people I might have inadvertently overlooked or you think might
be good contributors from your group.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
