Attached is a summary of the GNSO's Final Report on the Introduction of 
New Top-Level Domains for GNSO participants' consideration and use at 
the GNSO's New gTLD Workshop in Los Angeles on Monday, 29 October, 13:00 
- 19:00. This document summarizes the recommendations contained in the 
Report and notes other work under way to facilitate the introduction of 
new gTLDs in an orderly and transparent way. Where particularly 
applicable, it also attempts to briefly provide information about 
various issues considered by the GNSO Committee and the rationale behind 
the final wording of principles, recommendations and implementation 
guidelines.  (The Report, which was approved by the GNSO Council last 
month and is being sent to ICANN's Board for consideration, can be found 
at <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm>).

This document is meant to provide a concise and easy to read summary of 
the key elements of the Report, and is organized to correspond with the 
Workshop sessions.   GNSO constituency members are encouraged to 
consider the summary, and the Report, and submit questions in advance 
that they would like the Workshop panelists to address on the 29th. 
*Questions should be emailed to <new-gtlds-workshop at icann.org> or 
submitted via the on line comment form found on the Workshop web page at 
<http://losangeles2007.icann.org/node/45>.*  Questions will be publicly 
posted and provided to the Workshop moderator and panelists.

As previously noted, GNSO constituencies are encouraged to attend the 
special, interactive workshop at ICANN's Los Angeles meeting focused on 
the GNSO Council's final report on the introduction of new gTLDs.  The 
workshop will feature extensive opportunities for audience comments and 
questions and Council responses.

We look forward to seeing you in LA.

Regards,

Denise Michel
