Dear WG members,

As discussed in the WG face-to-face session in Copenhagen, the leadership
team is organizing a webinar and session at ICANN59 to promote broad
community discussion in the issue of geographic names at the top level, a
topic within the WG’s Charter. Please find additional details below. We
hope you can join these sessions.

Please feel free to share this invitation with any other community members
who might be interested in participating.

Kind regards,

Emily

The leadership team of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy
Development Process Working Group is *seeking your input* on the issue
of *geographic
names at the top level*. *All are welcome *and encouraged to participate
and contribute their perspectives.

The following upcoming activities are intended to facilitate a broad
community-wide dialogue on this topic to feed into the New gTLD Subsequent
Procedures PDP:

*Webinar session on Tuesday 25 April 2017* – Two webinars will take place;
one from 15:00-17:00 UTC and the second from 22:00-0:00 UTC. All community
members are welcome to submit positions on the treatment of geographic
names at the top level to be presented in the webinars. Depending on the
number of positions submitted, the sessions may contain the same
presentations or different presentations. The webinars will be recorded and
archived. Details will follow.

   - *If you would like to attend the webinar, *please email
   Geo-Names-Session@icann.org <Geo-Names-Session@icann.org>. Registration
   is not required, but your response will help us plan and will allow us to
   send updates to you.

   - *If you would like to submit a position to present at the webinar,
   please send an email by 7 April 2017* with your name, group or
   affiliation (if applicable), and your time zone to
   Geo-Names-Session@icann.org.

   - *The deadline for presentations is 18 April 2017.* Each presenter will
   be asked to prepare a 10 minute initial presentation and be available to
   answer questions on the webinar. We suggest preparing a maximum of 5
   slides. If, in addition to the slides, you would like to make a more
   complete written contribution available, you may do so, and we will
   distribute those to each of the attendees and make them available to the
   public. Please send all slides and other contributions to
   Geo-Names-Session@icann.org.

The webinar will be the beginning of a discussion that will continue at
ICANN59. The leadership team will be holding an *extended session in
Johannesburg to work through the positions presented in the webinars and to
propose solutions* seeking common ground on a way forward.

Additional information about the webinar and the Johannesburg session will
soon be available on the WG wiki page:
