RE: [council] The issue of "closed generic" TLDs (10 minutes)

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Bruce.  In that paper it seems like staff dismisses the idea of not 
allowing closed generics or changing anything.  That said, something must have 
happened at the board level to put that in doubt.  What happened during the 
retreat to put this in doubt?

Thanks.

Hello Jeff,

There is a briefing paper in the Board briefing materials for the 10 Jan 2012 
meeting that I sent to the list a few days ago.

See:  
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/briefing-materials-1-10jan13-en.pdf
 -    pages 5 onwards.

Closed generics are also discussed in the minutes of that meeting at:

http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/minutes-new-gtld-10jan13-en.htm 
- see section 1 (d).

The minutes for the meeting held on 1 Feb and 2 Feb will be posted when 
approved.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
