[Gnso-newgtld-dg] Agenda for First Meeting of the DiscussionGroup for New gTLD Subsequent Rounds

[Sam Lanfranco]

All,

As one with no horses in the past races, and unlikely to have horses in 
the future races here, I want to underscore the point made by Liz 
Williams. The first stage is capturing lessons learned, from whatever 
stakeholder's vantage point. We do need to hear from all stakeholder 
constituencies, including those with strong vested interests. At most 
the end produce of this stage will be something like a Green Paper that 
identifies what went well, what went badly, and why; as well as areas 
containing conflicted constituency vested interests.  This is step one. 
Crafting the terms of reference for the next gTLD round builds from this 
information and is step two. The transparency of the work will insure 
that there are not lessons learned that are missed, or ignored.
