Subject:Invitation to New gTLDs Workshop at ICANN LA Meeting (for all
constituency members)


Members of your constituency are invited and encouraged to attend a 
special, interactive workshop at ICANN's Los Angeles meeting focused on 
the GNSO Council's final report on the introduction of new gTLDs.  The 
New gTLDs Workshop will be held Monday afternoon, 29 October 
(tentatively scheduled from 12:30 to 18:30).  Participants will receive 
a comprehensive overview of the recommendations recently approved by the

GNSO Council for the introduction of new gTLDs, including the 
principles, recommendations, and implementation guidelines contained in 
the Council's final report that is being sent to ICANN's Board for 
consideration.

The introduction of new top-level domains is a core element of ICANN's 
mission. The policies that have emerged from the GNSO's policy 
development process are central to establishing an open and transparent 
system for the introduction of new top-level domains.  The workshop will

feature extensive opportunities for audience comments and questions and 
Council responses.  The GNSO's final report on the introduction of new 
gTLDs can be found at 
<http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm> 
(Part A) and 
<http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-partb-01aug07.htm> 
(Part B).

As Council members develop the workshop's agenda, more detailed 
information will be emailed.

We look forward to seeing you in LA.

Regards,

Denise Michel
Vice President, Policy Development
