    Chris, the archives of the list for the new gTLD committee is at:
    http://forum.icann.org/lists/gtld-council/

    I haven't seen any transcripts or recordings available of the LA meeting itself.

        Dominik,

        The first priority of the Reserved Names WG is to provide background and recommendations to the new gTLDs regarding the introduction of new gTLDs, specifically reserved strings at the top level. The terms of work for the WG also includs reviewing reserved names at the second level since such reservation requirements will affect any new gTLD operators that are selected. 

        So it is not that ICANN has prioritized the release of single character names at the second level above everything else, it is included in the work as applicable to the introduction of new gTLDs. But of course, there's no doubt that various parties within the WG are primarily involved for that reason. And there's no doubt that the lobbying done by some of those parties is partly why that category of reserved names is included in the WG's terms of work.


        Tim

          There is perhaps no reasons to reserve one-letter names in general but
          it's surprising that ICANN, instead of dealing with much more important
          and urgent agenda, is putting its effort into something that again
          smacks of sort of bargaining. We are talking about exactly 26 domain
          names gaining extreme value during the long time they are being
          reserved, worthy of millions bucks each when auctioned. You can be damn
          sure most of the names once released will soon appear at auctions and
          all the profit will come to the pockets of those demanding their release
          at ICANN today.

          So, not the names themselves but the order of importance is what makes
          me sick.

          Dominik
