 from the Translation and Transliteration of gTLD Data Working Group


The request was granted for an extension of the public comment period for the 
Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures

Whereas,

1.      In June 2015, Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council 
requested a Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures, 
intended to analyze subjects that may lead to changes or adjustments for 
subsequent New gTLD procedures; and,
2.      On 31 August 2015, ICANN Staff published the requested Preliminary 
Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures for public comment, to last for 
forty (40) days; and,
3.      There are certain members of the GNSO and wider community that would 
welcome an extended public comment period to allow for adequate time to 
consider the substantial subjects and analysis contained within the Preliminary 
Issue Report.

Resolved

1.      The GNSO Council requests that the public comment period for the 
Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures be extended from its 
current forty (40) days to sixty (60) days.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
