Applicants for these strings were unable to resolve contention among themselves; thus their contention sets proceeded to auction, which is the method of last resort to resolve string contention as prescribed in Module 4 of the New gTLD Program Applicant Guidebook <http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb>. Subject to payment of the winning price and meeting all other criteria for eligibility, the winner will enter ICANN's contracting process to sign a Registry Agreement to operate the respective gTLD. Six applicants participated in the auction for .BABY. Johnson & Johnson Services Inc. prevailed with a winning price of $3,088,888. Two applicants participated in the auction for MLS. The Canadian Real Estate Association prevailed with a winning price of $3,359,000. All proceeds from the Auction are being segregated and withheld from use until ICANN's Board of Directors define a plan for an appropriate use of the funds through consultation with the community.

ICANN IANA Transition Outreach meeting in Berlin
by sandra hoferichter Dec. 10, 2014

Dec. 10, 2014

Dear all, I would just like to inform you that Jimmy Schulz and I did attend an outreach meeting yesterday (9.12.) discussing the IANA transition with the German community. (see here the agenda in German: https://numbers.eco.de/2014/allgemein/eco-zukunftsdialog-ii-neuausrichtung-d er-internetverwaltung.html ) The event was very well attended and the discussion lively. If not already the case I would encourage to organise such events in other regions as well and also recommend At-Large members to participate. From ICANN Jean Jacques (VP Europe) participated. Unfortunately the announcement was not spread on any At-Large lists in advance, I could imagine there would have been a greater interest from the At-Large Community. I found out about this event on a short notice only. We should better cooperate here. Best Sandra
