| SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report (R1R6) | SAC114 | Phase 2 | Understand Request |
Description:
The SSAC recommends that the ICANN Board initiate a fundamental review to determine whether continuing to increase the number of gTLDs is consistent with ICANN’s strategic objective to “evolve the unique identifier systems in coordination and collaboration with relevant parties to continue to serve the needs of the global Internet user base.” This review should be considered an input towards updating ICANN’s strategic goals in conjunction with implementing the CCT Review Team’s recommendations. Such a fundamental review should include at least the following areas of study based on prior rounds of the New gTLD program:
- Impacts on root server operations
- Impacts on SSR issues
- Impacts on overall DNS operations
- Analysis of how all metrics for success were met
- Risk analysis
words “intended use” be removed as a defining characteristic to determine for whether applications should be placed in the same contention set or not.

| Phase 2 | Phase Update |
|
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | The ICANN Board and org continue to review this advice. In December 2022, the SSAC submitted responses to the Board's clarifying questions, which the ICANN Board and org will review. The Board notes that the SSAC plans to provide additional clarification regarding one question. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | The Board does not have any clarifying questions regarding this recommendation at this time. |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | SSAC issued the addendum to SAC114 in February 2022 and requested that the ICANN org formally take SAC114 recommendations out of their deferred state in the Action Request Register and proceed with the consideration process. Is there an expected timeframe for the statements of understanding for SAC114? |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | The SSAC provided an addendum to SAC114 (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-114-addendum-en.pdf). ICANN is currently reviewing SAC114 and the addendum. |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | The SSAC published Addendum to SAC114: Additional Context for Recommendation 1, Recommendation 3, Recommendation 7, and Additional References <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-114-addendum-en.pdf> The SSAC appreciates this opportunity to address concerns raised by the ICANN Board and community and further clarify the intent of recommendations in SAC114. The SSAC requests that the ICANN org formally take SAC114 recommendations out of their deferred state in the Action Request Register and proceed with the consideration process. |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | The SSAC is currently reviewing SAC114 as a result of community feedback since publication of SAC114. While it is conducting its review, SSAC requests that ICANN org pause its consideration of SAC114. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 2: Understand |
| Phase 1 | Phase Update | ICANN org thanked the SSAC for their feedback and apologized for the misunderstanding. SAC114: SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report is now in process. |
| Phase 1 | AP Feedback | The SSAC Admin Committee disagreed with the org's understanding: While the public comment process prompted the SSAC’s initial work on SAC114, due to time constraints the SSAC chose not to submit its comment through the Working Group’s Public Comment process. Instead, the SSAC analyzed the Draft Final Report and larger issues it raises with respect to continued allocation of the DNS namespace holistically and prepared this comment, and the recommendations within it, to the ICANN Board for consideration through the normal ARR process. |
| Phase 1 | Phase Update | ICANN is in receipt of the following statement: [ADVICE] SAC114: SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-114-en.pdf) The ICANN org understands that this statement is the [ADVICE] SAC114: SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report. As this item will be considered via the Public Comment process, there is no action for the ICANN Board, and the item will be considered closed. |
