[Steve Chan]

Dear DG Members,

Further to Ron¹s email, staff also published a draft Work Plan "to describe
the set of community reviews and activities underway and planned to support
consideration of an additional application process for the next round of
generic top-level domain (gTLD) names under the New gTLD Program.²

Subject:  [Gnso-newgtld-dg] FW: Latest report on gTLDs from ICANN staff

Dear all, 
 
This report (attached) from staff will hopefully add some value to the
reality of this DG¹s timeline considerations.
 
In short: ³As of this writing, 404 new gTLDs have been delegated.  A total
of 1,168 applicants have been invited to contracting.  Of those applications
in string contention sets, 49% remain subject to contention resolution
procedures, which are forecast to be completed by the third quarter of 2016.
ICANN anticipates contracting to be completed by the end of 2016, and
pre-delegation testing by early 2017, before completing all the new
delegations by mid-2017.²
 
Kind regards,
 
RA
