<a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-2015-09-08-en" target="_blank">
here</a>.</p>
<p>This discussion paper aims to capture the information and input on this topic to date as well as outlining the potential questions and issues that need to be addressed in any subsequent work on new
<abbr title="generic Top Level Domain">gTLD</abbr> Auction Proceeds. The paper calls for broad, open and inclusive public comment and encourages participation from all sectors, regions and levels of engagement with the
<abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> community. Engagement in the topic is also welcomed from those who do not necessarily participate in regular
<abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> community work.</p>
<p>In order to assist any interested parties in the preparation of their comments, a webinar has been scheduled on
<span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>Wednesday 7 October at 13.00 UTC</strong></span>. The webinar will be introduced by Jonathan Robinson, Chair of the Council of
<abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s generic names body (the
<abbr title="Generic Names Supporting Organization">GNSO</abbr>) and the introduction will also include remarks on the topic from the Chair of
<abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s board of directors, Dr Steve Crocker. The introduction will then be followed by an overview of the discussion paper and provide an opportunity for questions and answers. Please
note that the webinar is not intended to collect any formal input, but as noted above, is intended to assist interested parties in their preparation of input to the discussion paper via the public comment forum.</p>
<p>Please note, recognizing that the original closing date of the public comment period coincided with the start of the
<abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> meeting in Dublin and that several requests for additional time have been received, the public comment forum deadline has been extended to 8 November 2015.</p>
<p>The webinar will be run in Adobe Connect with a slide presentation along with a dial-in conference bridge for audio and it will be recorded and transcribed. In order to participate, please reply via email to the
<abbr title="Generic Names Supporting Organization">GNSO</abbr> Secretariat (<a href="mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org?subject=Registration:%20new%20gTLD%20Auction%20Proceeds%20Discussion%20Paper%20Webinar" target="_blank">gnso-secs@icann.org</a>) to receive the call details.
