REMOTE HUBS for ICANN 54 - Information on terms and online application form
by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 5, 2015

Oct. 5, 2015

Dear All, We would like to ensure that everyone is aware that the refreshed ICANN Remote Hub Terms and Online Application has gone live on ICANN's Meeting Webpage<https://meetings.icann.org/en> as well as on the Dublin Schedule Page <https://meetings.icann.org/en/dublin54/schedule-full> . The application form will close on October 14th, in time for decisions to be made on entities that will ultimately host and Tech team preparation. This refreshed version of the ICANN Meeting Remote Hubs is a very deliberate attempt to prioritize engagement around groups of interested participants from developing nations who might not otherwise have the ICANN Meeting experience though (not excluding anyone who has the right motivations to bring ICANN community and stakeholders together in all ICANN regions). We want to focus on simulating the physical room experience, promoting lively and topical discussion between the remote participants as would happen in a face to face environment...and see positive outcomes related to more engagement and participation both regionally and within the ICANN communities. Any feedback should be sent to : engagement(a)icann.org<mailto:engagement@icann.org>. Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine and Terri Agnew ICANN Policy Staff in support of ALAC E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> Facebook: www.facebook.com/icann<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge>atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>ICANNAtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>

Country codes are traditionally a 2-letter string. The new gTLD process is enabling country and territory codes to be expanded to 3-letters (or even as whole names). The “Cross Community Working Group for the Use of Country and Territory Names as Top Level Domains” is asking: 1. Should these new 3-letter country/territory codes be reserved ONLY as ccTLDs *OR* should they be open to everyone as gTLDs? (This question refers to 3-letter code IDN ccTLDs and IDN gTLDs as well) 2. What advantages or disadvantages does your answer offer either group (ccTLDs or gTLDs)? Please return your answers to these two questions to me asap. J
