Cross community session: PDP on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures - Helsinki

Cross community session: PDP on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures – Tuesday 28 June, 1700 – 1830

 

Overview:

The GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group (WG) on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures has been tasked with reviewing the 2012 round of the New gTLD Program and recommending possible changes or adjustments to the principles, recommendations, and implementation guidance from the 2007 Final Report on the Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains, as well as possibly developing new policy recommendations. In addition to the PDP WG, there are other related efforts that should be taken into account as the community plans for future new gTLDs, such as the Cross Community WG on the Use of Country and Territory Names (CCWG-UCTN) and the Competition, Consumer Choice & Consumer Trust Review Team (CCT-RT).

 

Who should attend and why:

Community members that have an interest in improving and/or expanding upon the existing new gTLD policy recommendations. The PDP WG has preliminarily considered a number of overarching topics and is currently gathering inputs from the community on these topics. The CCWG-UCTN and the CCT-RT are expected to provide outputs that will have a direct impact on this PDP WG. This session provides PDP WG members, members of these other efforts, and audience members, the opportunity to consider and plan for new gTLDs from a holistic approach and to provide the PDP WG with critical guidance for its deliberations.

 

What to expect from this session:

This session will be led by the PDP WG co-chairs Avri Doria, Jeff Neuman, and Steve Coates, and be supported by ICANN Policy Staff members Steve Chan and Julie Hedlund.

 

During this session, the PDP WG will focus discussion on a series of topics that are of mutual interest to the PDP WG, the CCT-UCTN, and the CCT-RT. This an open session and all are  welcome to participate. For further information about this PDP-WG, please see https://community.icann.org/x/RgV1Aw.
