Agenda: The At-Large community held its second plenary meeting at ICANN82. It was led by Avri Doria. The plenary explored whether expectations set by ICANN during the development and implementation of the New gTLD Program were met, especially as the Next Round Applicant Guidebook approaches publication. The session started with a brief introduction about the format, topic selection methodology, and premise for the plenary. The At-Large community was invited to participate in a formatted debate and discussion around the topics of Domain Name System (DNS) Abuse and the Applicant Support Program. Highlights: The debates featured longstanding members of the At-Large community and included input from different community members. The issue of DNS Abuse was introduced by Hadia Elminiawi. Olivier Crepin-Leblond underscored the progress made on DNS Abuse since the previous round of New gTLDs whereas Cheryl Langdon-Orr provided an overview of the perceived shortcomings identified by various stakeholders on DNS Abuse as it relates to the Next Round of New gTLDs. The audience discussed whether they believed enough had been done to address DNS Abuse before the opening of the Next Round application window. Hadia Elminiawi then provided a summary of the audience’s reflection of the session. After concluding the discussion on DNS Abuse, Joanna Kulesza introduced the topic of the Applicant Support Program and its speakers. She provided a brief overview of the At-Large position on the Applicant Support Program and asked whether enough had been done to address concerns that have been raised in relation to the Applicant Support Program in the 2012 round. Cheryl Langdon-Orr proceeded to highlight the advancements that had been made to the Applicant Support Program since the previous round of New gTLDs. Maureen Hilyard provided a rebuttal arguing that more needed to be done to assist applicants from underserved regions. The audience followed this by offering their input about the progression of the Applicant Support Program. After a thoughtful discussion, Avri Doria thanked the speakers and the audience for participating in this plenary and encouraged the community to continue speaking up about issues important to them. Next Steps: The At-Large community will continue to engage with the ICANN community on ways to mitigate DNS Abuse, especially as the launch of the Next Round application window approaches. The At-Large community will continue to promote the Next Round Applicant Support Program and discuss issues related to the Next Round at the At-Large Advisory Committee’s weekly Consolidated Policy Working Group call. At-Large Representatives will continue to attend the Next Round Implementation Review Team (SubPro IRT) meetings to help ensure proper implementation of ICANN Board-approved policy recommendations for the Next Round.
