[council] Expressions of Interest in new gTLDs: ICANN seeks input and advice

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please note that the following was posted today on the ICANN home page
(http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-11nov09-en.htm):
"Expressions of Interest in new gTLDs: ICANN seeks input and advice"
 
This is not a request for expressions of interest for new gTLDs but
rather a request for comments in follow up to the Board motion in that
regard, seeking feedback on the idea of soliciting expressions of
interest.  The comment period will run until 11 December but it is
pointed out that "community members that wish to have their input
considered by the Board during its December meeting, should submit
comments no later than November 27, 2009."  The Board will not be taking
any action in its 9 December meeting but will be provided a summary of
the comments received up to 27 November.
