Thanks Edmon.

I am copying the Council for their information.

Glen, can I ask that you contact each of the existing members directly and ask them on my behalf if they would like to remain as GNSO reps to the JIG?

Thanks,

Stéphane

This is an issue that affects all new gTLDs as well with particular concern for IDN TLDs, which also makes it an issue of common interest with the ccNSO (with the introduction of IDN ccTLDs).  In brief, it is the issue of technical barriers faced by new gTLDs, e.g. where some software filters do not recognize new TLDs, databases e.g. facebook profiles not accepting URLs and emails with non legacy TLDs, etc.

I can say that I am happy to continue to remain on the group and Rafik has also been participating actively.  Wondering if Terry, Karen and June would like to continue to serve or others may be interested to join.
