10) Proposed Goals and Outcomes:

Content Guidelines (click here)

 

Inform cities about the availability of city-TLDs and approaches for their planning, design, acquisition, and development; this to include the utility of engaging individual Internet users early in the process, with these providing a foundation element of the long term governance process for the city-TLD.

We have applied to organize or participate in a related workshop on the topic and are hoping for a positive response.  Should this de declined, one of our goals would be to inform the workshop selection committee on the topic in preparation for the 2017 event.

At the workshop or otherwise (literature table...) we will outline the role of city TLDs, ICANN, cities, and individual internet users in creating and effectively utilizing city TLDs. This outreach will include an invitation to participate in ICANN processes.

11) Additional Information (optional):

The CROPP applicant has been involved with city-TLDs since 2000, and initiated the first official action that led to New York City acquiring the .nyc TLD. He continues his engagement with ICANN and the .nyc TLD through Connecting.nyc Inc., an At-Large Structure.
