Item 3: Update on process for new gtlds

The MOU between ICANN and US Dept of Commerce requires:
(from http://www.icann.org/general/amend6-jpamou-17sep03.htm )

Continue the process of implementing new top level domains (TLDs), which
process shall include consideration and evaluation of:

a. The potential impact of new TLDs on the Internet root server system
and Internet stability;

b. The creation and implementation of selection criteria for new and
existing TLD registries, including public explanation of the process,
selection criteria, and the rationale for selection decisions;

c. Potential consumer benefits/costs associated with establishing a
competitive environment for TLD registries; and, 

d. Recommendations from expert advisory panels, bodies, agencies, or
organizations regarding economic, competition, trademark, and
intellectual property issues.

Define and implement a predictable strategy for selecting new TLDs using
straightforward, transparent, and objective procedures that preserve the
stability of the Internet (strategy development to be completed by
September 30, 2004 and implementation to commence by December 31, 2004).
