Dear All,

You are invited to participate in a webinar series to be organized by the APRALO Policy Forum to provide background information on the New gTLD Program and to facilitate understanding around the Next Round of New generic Top-Level Domains from the At-Large perspective, and including any remaining policy-related processes and implementation work to be undertaken from now up to the target launch date of Apr 2026.

Join Justine Chew, ALAC Liaison to the GNSO and former At-Large Liaison for Subsequent Procedures, for Webinar #1 on the Next Round of New gTLDs: An Overview on Thursday 7 September 2023 at 06:00 UTC for 75 minutes, where participants can expect to gain:

• an overview of:
  • the New gTLD Program; 
  • the policy development work completed by the Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group (SubPro PDP WG) in 2016-2021;
  • the implementation work by the Subsequent Procedures Implementation Review Team (SubPro IRT) leading up to the launch of the Next Round; 
  • the different roles held by various parts of the ICANN Community in relation to the SubPro PDP and SubPro IRT;
• an understanding of what work remains in terms of policy versus implementation; 
• an open-mic opportunity to seek clarification and/or raise issues for addressing (to the extent possible); and
• an opportunity to input on agenda building for this Webinar series.
