NGPC Progress on Addressing GAC Beijing Advice on New gTLDs
14 June 2013
The ICANN Board New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC) met on 11 June 2013 to 
discuss the GAC Beijing advice regarding singular and plural versions of the 
same string as a New gTLD. The discussion followed the NGPC's decision on 4 
June 2013 to accept the GAC's advice to consider this issue. The NGPC made 
considerable progress toward reaching consensus on a way forward and expects to 
reach a conclusion at its 25 June 2013 meeting.
The NGPC also considered how it might respond to the ALAC Statement on IDN 
Variants. Finally, it began in-depth discussion of the GAC's Safeguard Advice 
applicable to all strings.
The next two meetings of the NGPC on 18 and 25 June 2013 will focus on items 
within the GAC's Annex 1 Safeguard advice. Below please find an updated NGPC 
work plan:
