RE: [council] Summary of input received: ICANN Board Letter on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures

["Austin, Donna" <Donna.Austin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

James, all

Unfortunately, I won’t be on the call on this week as I will be in transit. On 
the topic of ICANN Board Letter on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures I want to 
reiterate something I suggested during a previous discussion by the Council. I 
believe that the Council should discuss the Board’s letter and the responses to 
date in the context of what is a reasonable timeframe for commencing the next 
application round.

Akram Atallah has suggested that there will not be another round before 2020, 
but is 8 years an acceptable period of time between processes, particularly 
given there was an expectation of a next round some 12 months after the 2012 
round? Is it possible for the Council to identify what it believes is an 
acceptable period between when the new gTLD application process opened on 12 
January 2012, to a subsequent process? Notwithstanding the diverging views 
about what is or isn’t on the critical path to a next round, is it within the 
realms of possibility that the requisite work could be finalized by the end of 
2017, and a subsequent application round commenced on 1 June 2018?

I look forward to hearing the views of others.

Donna

Thanks, Emily.  Third time’s a charm!  ☺

Councilors –

Please note the diversity (& divergent) views on this topic from the SGs and 
Cs, along with the statement of no consensus view from the PDP leadership.    
Given the variety of positions and the desire to have a more comprehensive 
community-wide discussion in Hyderabad, I will propose that we convene a 
Drafting Team (assisted by Staff) to synthesize these documents in to a single 
GNSO statement, noting areas of agreement & difference where they exist.

Please keep this in mind for our call on Thursday if you would like to 
volunteer for this effort.

Thank you –

J.
