<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">1. In 2005, this Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) began a policy development process to consider the introduction of new

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">3. The Final Report stated that “ This policy development process has been designed to produce a systemised and ongoing mechanism for applicants to
propose new top-level domains.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">4. In June 2008, the ICANN Board adopted the GNSO's policy recommendations for the introduction of new gTLDs and directed staff to develop an implementation
plan for a new gTLD introduction process; and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">5. In June 2011, the ICANN Board approved an Application Guidebook ("AGB") for new gTLDs and authorized the launch of the New gTLD Program; and,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">6. In June 2012, the first round application submission period closed; and,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">7. In June 2014, this Council created the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group (DG) to discuss experiences gained and lessons learned from
the 2012 New gTLD round and identify subjects for future issue reports, that may lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent procedures; and,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">8. In August 2014, the DG began deliberations, focusing primarily on the identification of issues that members experienced in the 2012 New gTLD round;

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">9. In November 2014, the ICANN Board provided initial input on areas for possible policy work in Annex A related to a resolution on Planning for Future

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">10. The DG developed a matrix which attempts to associate identified issues with a corresponding principle, policy recommendation or implementation
guidance from the 2007 Final Report on New Generic Top-Level Domains, or to note that the issue may warrant new policy work. Furthermore, the DG developed a draft PDP WG charter that identifies subjects, divided into provisional groupings, for further analysis
in a potential Issue Report and potential PDP; and,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
