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. <br>
