• Policy discussion on New gTLDs, IDNs and the Next gTLD Round: As of end-2014, hundreds of new gTLDs have now been delegated  (starting with internationalized domain names (IDNs)), what is ICANN and the community doing to review “lessons learned” from this current expansion round, with a view toward preparing for the next round?
• Pre-ICANN52 Policy Update Webinar: The ICANN Policy Team conducts a comprehensive Policy Update before each ICANN Meeting. The next one, just before ICANN52 in Singapore, will be on 29 January 2015 – what would the APAC community like to see covered?
