APAC Space Web Conference - Discussion on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (PDP)
Date/Time: 16 June 2016, 03:00-04:00 UTC
Please note that the ICANN56 Helsinki meeting (27-30 June 2016) format is focused on SO/AC/SG/C (Supporting Organizations/Advisory Committees/Stakeholder Groups/Constituencies), and there will not be a face-to-face APAC Space meeting in Helsinki.
New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP
On 17 December 2015, the GNSO (Generic Names Supporting Organization) initiated a PDP to consider and analyze issues discussed in the Final Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures to determine whether changes or adjustments to the existing policy recommendations in the Final Report on the Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains are needed. As the Working Group for this PDP has begun discussions, it is beneficial for the APAC Community to understand the relevant discussion topics and thus be better poised for participation in the near future.

Date/Time: 21 April 2016, 03:00-04:00 UTC
At the recent APAC Space session in Marrakech (ICANN55), it was agreed that an additional session should be organized in between ICANN meetings to sustain community interaction and communication. We hope that the APAC Space will allow wider participation from the region and encourage active contribution to policy development issues. For those who are unfamiliar with the topic of APAC participation in GNSO, the web conference will serve as an introduction to the discussion as well.
