The WG will use the recently developed set of Working Guideline produced in the NGSO with major representation from At-large as the guideline for the group operations.  These guidelines can be found at: <http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-07apr11-en.pdfguidelines>  and <http://gnso.icann.org/council/summary-gnso-wg-guidelines-06apr11-en.pdfsummary> .  These are, however, only guidelines and the GTLD WG will, over time, adapt them to its own needs. 

Original Description

operates based upon the GNSO Working Guidelines, produced with substantial At-Large representation. Please refer to the guidelines here and here. Please note these are guidelines, and the ANGWG will update them to their specific needs over time.

On 1 November 2007 at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the ICANN Board approved the GNSO New GTLDs gTLDs Policy agreed by the GNSO. This means that it is now up to the staff of ICANN ICANN Staff now as the responsibility to propose, for public comment and review, the practical implementation of the process by which new GTLDs will be added to the root zone.

As a result of this, the At-Large Advisory Committee created a new working group (ALAC) created the ANGWG to follow developments. All interested participants in the At-Large community are encouraged to join!
