The NGPC met on 8 May to consider a Plan for responding to the Governmental Advisory Committee's advice on New gTLDs, transmitted to the Board through its 11 April Beijing Communiqué. The Plan is in two parts: Part 1 shown below consists of actions for soliciting input from Applicants and from the Community. Item Resp. Start Date Compl.

Each GAC scorecard item will be noted with a "1A", "1B", or "2": * "1A" indicates that the NGPC's proposed position is consistent with GAC advice as described in the Scorecard. * "1B" indicates that the NGPC's proposed position is consistent with GAC advice as described in the Scorecard in principle, with some revisions to be made. * "2" indicates that the NGPC's current position is not consistent with GAC advice as described in the Scorecard, and further discussion with the GAC is required following relevant procedures in the ICANN Bylaws. Part 2 of the Plan is not yet finalized and, with respect to some of the advice, cannot be finalized until after the review of the Public Comments due to be completed on 20 June. The NGPC will next meet in Amsterdam on 18 May and will provide a further update following that meeting.

Email for ALAC (re: ERRP)
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 13, 2013

May 13, 2013

Dear All, Please find below a message from Caitlin Tubergen, Registrar Relations and Contracts Manager. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Julia Charvolen ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> ---------------- Dear ALAC Members, The new Expired Registration Recovery Policy (https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp) will go into effect on 31 August 2013. For background information, the proposed Expired Registration Recovery Policy ("ERRP") is intended to help align registrant expectations with registrar practices by establishing certain minimum communications requirements and making renewal and redemption of registrations uniformly available in prescribed circumstances. Following implementation of the policy, ICANN is instructed to create educational materials in consultation with interested stakeholders to help registrants properly manage their registrations. Additional background material can be found here: https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Expired+Registra…. As part of the above-mentioned educational materials, ICANN staff, in consultation with interested community members, will be updating the Beginner's Guide to Domain Names (a great resource from ALAC!) to include relevant ERRP updates. In addition, ICANN staff thought a video tutorial on the proper stewardship of a domain name could be an additional resource for Internet users. I will be organizing a brief phone conference to discuss a proposed outline to the video tutorial in the next two weeks. Any ALAC members that would be interested in participating in this video tutorial initiative should send an email to caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org<mailto:caitlin.tubergen@icann.org> by Friday, 17 May, and I will be sure to include them in future communications. I look forward to working with interested stakeholders. Best regards, Caitlin Tubergen Registrar Relations and Contracts Manager ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 caitlin.tubergen(a)icann.org<mailto:caitlin.tubergen@icann.org>
