Councillors,

Please see the email below. I would be very keen for the Council as a whole to 
submit some views. Do others share that desire and if so, who would be willing 
to coordinate this effort?

Thanks,

Dear all,

The new gTLD program will have a significant impact on the functioning of ICANN 
and its structure. An in-depth community discussion is needed to identify early 
the corresponding challenges and possible evolutions. It should be conducted 
while the gTLD program itself is being implemented, without waiting for the 
completion of this round. This should in particular be taken into account in 
the upcoming gNSO review, planned in 2013.

As you probably remember, this issue was therefore put on the agenda of the 
various Board interactions with SOs, ACs and constituencies during the Prague 
meeting. Several issues were identified during these discussions, pertaining 
both to scalability factors (due to the number of applications) and qualitative 
impact (including the diversity of the new gTLDs and the potential overlapping 
of the constituencies they could belong to).

At the end of each such session, Steve Crocker invited participants to share a 
one-pager on this topic to gather preliminary views and help prepare a 
dedicated session in Toronto.

I am writing to you as Chairs of the respective SOs, ACs, Stakeholder Groups or 
Constituencies to renew this call for input. The Board Structural Improvements 
Committee (SIC), chaired by Ray Plzak, will discuss the topic during the Board 
Workshop mid-September and your perspective is eagerly sought after. The 
contributions can be very synthetic at that stage, for instance merely listing 
bullet points of identified potential impacts. The objective is to get as 
complete a picture as possible of the different dimensions of the issue.

I know the summer period is not the easiest to gather views in you respective 
groups but I also understand that this has already been discussed before Prague 
and you probably are in a position to share the concerns already identified, if 
not the possible solutions. This is only a preliminary stage and further 
consultations will take place to prepare the Toronto session.

Thank you in advance for your contribution, if possible before September 10, 
and don't hesitate to share this call for input with people I might have 
inadvertently overlooked or you think might be good contributors from your 
group.

Best

Bertrand
