Subject: [EXTERNAL] ICANN org's preparation toward implementation of a new 
round of gTLDs



Dear Keith;

As you likely recall, in December 2015 the GNSO initiated a Policy Development 
Process (PDP) to determine if changes to existing policy recommendations are 
needed before the next round of gTLDs. We understand that the PDP Working 
Group expects to publish its final report with its recommendations by December 
2019. These recommendations may lead to procedural changes for subsequent 
rounds of gTLD applications, which ICANN org must implement and manage.

In the course of our preparatory work toward the planning and implementation 
of the new policy, ICANN org has compiled a number of fundamental 
operationally focused assumptions to help with the preliminary planning and 
operational readiness of the organization. I have shared these assumptions 
with the ICANN Board, and am now sharing them with all ICANN constituencies in 
the briefing document attached. We plan to meet face-to-face with the 
Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group in Marrakech to further discuss these 
assumptions.

If the GNSO Council members are also interested in further engagement and 
providing feedback and perspective on these assumptions please let me know and 
we will be happy to arrange a mutually convenient time for a discussion.

For your information, this information will also be included in the ICANN 
Community Digest which is planned to be issued later this week.



Sincerely,



Cyrus Namazi
