<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Following the failure to hold the planned

the work of the Constituency discussions have taken place between Wolf-Ulrich
Knoben, Tony Harris and myself and I would like to propose the following way

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>As the WG are unable to reach consensus at
the moment the ISPCP will support the Board in their resolution taken during
their Trondheim meeting, for this round of gTLDs, on the basis that further
delays to the programme are untenable. However the ISPCP will offer support for
the continuation of the WG with the aim of resolving this issue in a
satisfactory manner before any further rounds of new gTLDs. For this round it
is the view of the ISPCP that the status quo situation should remain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

available to applicants for this round of new gTLDs, the ISPCP will support the
Board resolution for this round. For future rounds the ISPCP would support
further discussions on this point, particularly as ICANN would have then gained
additional revenue that could be considered as a means of addressing some of
