There is currently a Cross Community Working Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names as Top-Level Domains (see <a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=48346463">here</a>) working on at least part of this issue. You might recall that Heather provided an update to the GNSO Council as the Group’s co-Chair during the last Council call (transcript <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/transcript-council-21may15-en.pdf">here</a>). To assure you, and others, the Group is very much aware of the GAC’s work and is trying to coordinate their respective efforts to avoid a situation where the GAC’s potential future advise on geographic names conflicts with anything the CWG is producing. Please note that the CWG is meeting bi-weekly and the number of GNSO members is not as prominent as it could be - as also pointed out by Heather. </div><div><br></div><div>In addition, Heather will send out a call to the GNSO Council to provide informal feedback on the CWG’s work, including the potential overlap with the GAC’s work later today; any feedback you – and others – can provide will be most welcome in the CWG’s discussions. </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks and best wishes,</div><div>Lars</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Donna Austin <<a href="mailto:Donna.Austin@ariservices.com">Donna.Austin@ariservices.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Wednesday, 3 June 2015 01:49<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Steve Chan <<a href="mailto:steve.chan@icann.org">steve.chan@icann.org</a>>, "<<a href="mailto:gnso-newgtld-dg@icann.org">gnso-newgtld-dg@icann.org</a>>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-newgtld-dg@icann.org">gnso-newgtld-dg@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [Gnso-newgtld-dg] Additional item to charter: application by previous applicant<br></div><div><br></div><div xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

be shortened, reduced of even omitted (e.g., financial, technical, administrative, etc.) in case such RO is duly fulfilling its current RA and running its (.brand) gTLD. It seems some time could be saved during the application process if ICANN validates most
of the the RO information.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></span></body></html>
