RE: [council] Notice of Motion

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Just a redminder that in the Council meeting in Montreal on 24 June
2003, 
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030624.GNSOmontreal-minutes.html

the Council accepted the following report on new gtlds:
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030612.gTLDs-committee-conclusions-v7.h
tml

The council decided that:
1. Expansion of the gTLD namespace should be a bottom-up approach with
names proposed by the interested parties to ICANN. Expansion should be
demand-driven. There is no support for a pre-determined list of new
names that putative registries would bid for.

2. In line with ideas set-out in the Lynn paper March 1003[1] the
committee endorsed the concept of a set of objective criteria that
should be met in any future expansion. The development of this set of
objective criteria should be the subject of a new Policy Development
Process (PDP). Possible criteria for this PDP are listed below together
with some strategies which point to practical, non-burdensome ways in
which they can be met.

I believe that Milton's motion below is consistent with the decision
above.

Regards,
Bruce
