Subject: Public Sessions on Recent Board-GAC consultations - Community Input

Sending on Behalf of Peter Dengate Thrush

To: Chairs of ALAC, GNSO Council and the Chairs of the GNSO  
Stakeholder Groups:

As you know, ICANN is holding workshops Monday and Wednesday to  
discuss the remaining issues discussed during the recent Board-GAC  
consultations.

After the initial consultation the Board has graded these new gTLD  
issues as to whether the GAC and Board are: in agreement, in  
agreement in principle with some changes to be made, or in  
disagreement on each of the issues raised by the GAC.

The purpose of these workshops is to receive community input on how  
the outstanding issues should be resolved, especially those where  
the GAC and Board are in disagreement.

We invite you or a person you nominate to speak regarding how the  
outstanding issues should be resolved. We are looking forward to  
your leadership in focusing the discussion toward practical solutions.

Please respond to Kurt Pritz regarding your plans.

Sincerely,

Peter Dengate Thrush
