<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much, Marika, for proving this information. The WSIS Forum is the largest meeting on ICT for development and one of the major events in the Internet Governance calendar, in which UN organisations and all stakeholders get together to review
the implementation of the goals set forth by the World Summit on the Information Society. Sessions have considerable visibility and attendance. </div><div><br></div><div>I see the presence of ICANN in this meeting with very positive eyes. It is very important to dialogue with other organisations in the internet ecosystem. However, I find that the framing of this particular session is not adequate, as it seems to take for
granted the work that we are doing in the GNSO, particularly in the WG on new gTLD subsequent procedures. </div><div><br></div><div>I understand that GDD may want to talk about the lessons learned from a staff standpoint (taking into consideration the reviews that have been commissioned), but these reviews should be an element to be fed into the policy development process, which is
the right mechanism to identify lessons learned in a holistic manner and define the way forward. </div><div><br></div><div>The GNSO is still in the process of drawing lessons from the first round and defining if a second round is desirable and what should be improved for it to take place in a smooth manner. I do not think we can say that "ICANN has embarked on a preparation
for the second round", before the GNSO takes its time to develop policy. I understand the wish to "heat" the market for new gTLDs, however, this framing is just inaccurate and undermines the role of the GNSO from an internal policy perspective and from a public
relations standpoint. </div><div><br></div><div>I would like to suggest that we include this update we have received from staff in the agenda of the next GNSO call. I would also like to suggest, on a personal capacity, that GDD considers withdrawing the proposal or changing the framing of this session
in order for it to reflect the stage of discussions that we find ourselves now. If the second option is preferred, it would be good that GDD works together with the chairs of the WG on new gTLD subsequent procedures to reframe and organize this session. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and best wishes,</div><div>Marília</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 6:29 PM, Marika Konings <span dir="ltr">
