[CPWG] [registration-issues-wg] At-Large Workspace: Initial Report on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (Overarching Issues & Work Tracks 1-4)

[Holly Raiche]

Thanks Olivier for the link.

I’ve had a quick look at the report, and concentrated on Annex C - the actual recommendations, etc.

My suggestion is that, at least on this call, identify the areas that we want to focus on - that are about the interests of users .  Clearly each heading has lots of specifics on recommendations, options.   But if we can at least identify the issues we want to focus on, it will narrow down our task, and may be even assign areas to different WG members?

This is my suggested list - with the heading as per the Annex. I am anticipating others will have different views of what areas we should concentrate on, but this largely reflects the areas ALAC has commented on before.
