Thanks, Denise, have been up to my ears in alligators, er, ITU Plenipot
stuff... I just got a chance to look at this proposed agenda. I am happy to
work with Bret on that segment. 

Are you interesting in the councilors perhaps generating some draft
questions? I thought that was the suggestion but needed to verify. 

Thanks for the draft.

Subject: [council] Draft agenda for GNSO Public Forum on New TLDs

Below is a *draft* agenda for the Sao Paulo GNSO Public Forum on New 
Tlds that has been prepared for your consideration and comment.  The 
primary goal of this forum is to focus public attention on the 
Committee's work, and encourage a useful public discussion by all 
interested stakeholders on the key elements of the draft final report.

Note that I've made some initial suggestions of various Committee 
members who might provide neutral summaries of sections of the report 
and encourage public discussion.  I'm sure most members could fill these 
roles, and your suggestions are welcome.  Also, input is needed on 
targeted questions people should come prepared to address and other 
ideas on how to structure the discussion to ensure audience engagement 
and useful input.  We'd like to get this posted before 20 November.

Thanks.
Denise

**DRAFT**

GNSO NEW TLDs PUBLIC FORUM
4 December, 14:00 - 16:30
Hotel Transamérica, São Paulo

The GNSO is organizing a special public forum at ICANN's Sao Paulo 
meeting on Monday, 4 December, 14:00 - 16:30, to provide an opportunity 
for an in-depth, public discussion about the GNSO's Draft Final Report 
on the Introduction of New Top Level Domains (new TLDs).  The most 
important elements of this discussion are:

1.  Application Process
2.  Evaluation Processes
3.  Dispute Resolution

The GNSO's New TLD Committee will soon be posting the report for public 
comment, and will be soliciting input from interested stakeholders on a 
variety of questions.  This forum, which will be web cast and 
transcribed, will provide an additional opportunity for stakeholders to 
provide input to the Committee's proposals for the selection criteria, 
allocation methods, contractual conditions, and other elements that 
should be used as part of the process for introducing new TLDs.  A panel 
of Committee members will provide summaries on various aspects of new 
TLD introduction to encourage audience participation and broad-based 
input. This forum will be a critical opportunity for stakeholders to 
share specific recommendations and guidance on how ICANN could implement 
the GNSO Committee's recommendations on the introduction of new Tlds.
