> Dear Chairperson, Stakeholder Group Leader,
> 
> As you know, the New gTLD program will soon change the Internet in important 
> ways that affect all users. As we heard from the public comment during the 
> Dakar meeting, ICANN community members are committed to participating in the 
> communications campaign; employing their expertise, knowledge and spheres of 
> influence to inform potential applicants and users of the coming changes.
> 
> We agree with the sentiment expressed by those comments: to combine forces in 
> order to educate the users in all regions about the coming change to the 
> Internet. With mutual support between the informative materials we’ve created 
> thus far, and your regional and stakeholder group contacts, we will be able 
> to reach many organizations.
> 
> In August we asked community members to recommend events and awareness 
> raising opportunities in their regions. We received and followed up on many 
> recommendations and provided speakers and material for most events suggested. 
> (You can review the calendar of past and future events on the New gTLDs site.)
> 
> In order to make the most of our global community's knowledge and networking 
> capabilities, we have prepared an array of educational materials that are 
> available on the New gTLD microsite and listed below. These materials provide 
> a high-level look at specific areas of the program with reference back to the 
> appropriate section of the Applicant Guidebook for more detailed information. 
> These materials are not promotional, but neutral, educational, and 
> informative; providing a balanced view of both the positives and negatives of 
> new gTLDs. There will soon be additional, knowledge-based reference materials.
> 
> Please find below lists of materials that are available for you to use as you 
> see fit to help raise awareness about the program. We continually add to 
> these resources; if you have an idea for a fact sheet, presentation, or video 
> that would be helpful in informing your interest group about new gTLDs, 
> please let us know. There are additional summaries addressing trademark 
> protections and other topics. Please also let us know if you need any 
> material in a language that we have not provided. Though we can’t promise to 
> fulfill every translation request, we will do our best to get translations 
> for items that receive multiple requests.
> 
> If you require these materials in a different format or translated for a 
> specific purpose, please contact Michele Jourdan at 
> michele.jourdan@xxxxxxxxx. You may also contact me. Additionally, there may 
> be limited opportunities for coaching on certain topics in preparation for 
> use. 
> 
> It is important to understand that these materials are the property of ICANN. 
> They can be shared universally but should not be adopted as the work product 
> of another entity or labeled with the logos or other indicia of ownership / 
> authorship by any other entity. As you no doubt understand, given the 
> competitive landscape and potential collision of interests in the new gTLD 
> progam, it is important to maintain these distinctions. It is recognized also 
> that many constituency / stakeholder members are planning to participate tin 
> the new gTLD program. Potential for conflicts of interest must be careful 
> considered and addressed.
> 
> If you have any problem reading this email – please let Michele know. We 
> wanted to lay out the materials in an organized way, but this formatting 
> doesn't always work across all email clients and computers.
> 
> If you wish to take part in the effort, we want to help you. A materials list 
> is below. Thank you in advance for your suggestions and assistance in helping 
> raise global awareness of new gTLDs.
