<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Whereas,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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 gTLDs, which
resulted in the creation of certain policy recommendations for the launch of a new gTLD application process; and,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">2. In September 2007, this Council adopted the policy recommendations from the GNSO policy development process and forwarded them to the ICANN Board of Directors;
and,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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.” </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">6. In June 2012, the first round application submission period closed; and,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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; and,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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 gTLD Application
Rounds.</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span 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,</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">11. The DG recommends that its set of deliverables serve as the basis for analysis in a single Issue Report.</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now therefore, it is resolved:</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:35.4pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">1. The GNSO Council requests a single Issue Report that will analyze subjects that may lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent New gTLD Procedures. The Preliminary
Issue Report should at a minimum consider:</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:70.8pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">• The subjects that the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group identified in its deliverables (i.e., issues matrix and draft charter);</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:70.8pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">• Global Domains Division Staff input to the deliberations of the DG, and;</span><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
