hi all,

i’ll speak personally, i haven’t checked with the constituency on this.  i would go a notch further than Jonathan — this item seems premature.  partly because of external events, partly because the rollout *is* taking longer than the framers of the Applicant Guidebook envisaged.  i’m not ruling it out, but my immediate reaction is quite muted.

Thanks Bret,

I think this item may have got eclipsed by all of the other activity on Friday and over the weekend.

In any case, the point is noted and currently I think we can aim to fit this into the weekend sessions.

The draft agenda for Wednesday is looking full-ish for a two hour meeting but I am open to persuasion as to whether we discuss this on Wed.

Subject: [council] Singapore Agenda Item: New gTLDs, Subsequent Application Rounds

Dear Councillors,

I would like to propose that we add some time on our Singapore agenda for discussing next steps in preparation for Round 2 of the new gTLD launch. As you may know, in the Applicant Guidebook, ICANN wrote the following about subsequent new gTLD rounds:

1.1.6 Subsequent Application Rounds

ICANN’s goal is to launch subsequent gTLD application
rounds as quickly as possible. The exact timing will be
based on experiences gained and changes required after
this round is completed. The goal is for the next application
round to begin within one year of the close of the
application submission period for the initial round.

ICANN has committed to reviewing the effects of the New
gTLD Program on the operations of the root zone system
after the first application round, and will defer the
delegations in a second application round until it is
determined that the delegations resulting from the first
round did not jeopardize root zone system security or
stability.

It is the policy of ICANN that there be subsequent
application rounds, and that a systemized manner of
applying for gTLDs be developed in the long term.

The "the close of the application submission period for the initial round” was May, 2012, so the goal for the launch of Round 2 has already been missed, by a material amount of time. I think we all would agree that many aspects of the program, from the application process to the review and implementation, should be reviewed and revisited.

Let’s spend some time discussing “subsequent application rounds" and see if we can come to a shared understanding of what the proper next steps would be, including the role of the Council and the GNSO in the review process.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in Singapore.

       Bret
