Dear All,

On behalf of Evan Leibovitch, Chair of the At-Large New gTLD Working Group, 
this is a call for membership of the At-Large New gTLD Working Group.

New members are welcome to join and current members are asked to re-confirm 
their membership. Please either indicate your interest by commenting on the 
At-Large New gTLD Working Group workspace (see:  
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2263793) or by writing 
At-Large staff at: staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> by 
Friday, 2 May 2014.

The current mandate includes the following work items:

 *   Objection 
Process<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Objection+Process>: 
At-Large is charged with developing a method to accept, filter and submit 
community-based objections to TLD proposals (similar to what the GAC will have)
 *   Public Interest Issues in new gTLDs: The Public Interest Commitment (PIC) 
component of the gTLD expansion may not serve its intended purposes. At-Large 
continues to evaluate the PIC system and possible develop alternative methods 
for maintaining public trust in the new domains.
 *   Outreach evaluation & 
recommendation<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=38044058>
Review and remediation of poor results in both applications for new gTLDs and 
applications for support from developing economies.
 *   At-Large New gTLD Rollout Issues 
Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+New+gTLD+Rollout+Issues+Workspace>:
 As the gTLD process unfolds, At-Large will want to observe its rollout and may 
develop further advice on it going forward.

Regards,

Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine 
and Terri Agnew
