Alan suggested the use of the gnso liaison list, and that’s good by me. Below find a rough draft of an invitation (Dev from the TTCS in Trinidad wrote it) – let me know if there’s anything we should add. Jacqueline The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) has released a summary of the report on the Introduction of new top level domains for the At-Large community's consideration and use at the GNSO's New gTLD Workshop at the ICANN Los Angeles meeting on Monday, 29 October 2007. This document is meant to provide a concise and easy to read summary of the key elements of the Report, and is organized to correspond with the Workshop sessions. At-Large participants (such as the TTCS) are encouraged to consider the summary, and the Report, and submit questions in advance that they would like the Workshop panelists to address on the 29th. The At Large has determined to create a short term working group to discuss and generate comments for input into the process and transmission to the Board of ICANN. The Working Group will work via a mailing list, and interested persons can subscribe to this list at HYPERLINK "http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-liaison_atlarge-lists. icann.org"http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-liaison_atlar ge-lists.icann.org The timeframe for the working group is short, with a deadline of October 25th. A suggested work plan drawn up by a member of the WG is below. You can see that the work will be intense, but it is very important. 1) Timeframe of ad-hoc WG: ends on Thursday 25 Oct. (2) Links to reference documents are provided (3) The 20 GNSO new gTLD recommendations are cited (4) WG members will each draft comments on whatever issues they might have with certain recommendations (5) Initial comments due by 22 October (6) First draft of Final Document (incorporating all comments) by 23 October (7) Final Document by 25 October (8) ALAC reviews WG effort in LA and provides Statement to accompany the Final Document for transmission to the ICANN board. I hope that you will participate as this is a very important issue, with serious ramifications for the future direction of the Internet, and vitally important to individual users. Below please find links to the relevant documents related to the Introduction of New Top Level Domains. We will also shortly be creating a wiki workspace for the working group, but in the meantime, you can find information on the GNSO Liaison wiki page at HYPERLINK "https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?gnso_liaison"https://st.icann.org/alac/ index.cgi?gnso_liaison.

I think he and this group will be waiting for word on an open list we can use to do a focused, two-week effort to produce something worthwhile that can be presented to the board in order to get the GNSO to reconsider some things in the current document. He suggested that we go into Los Angeles with this in hand rather than wait (as I was thinking of doing) until the actual workshop. So, Jacqueline, issuing a call to order might be an excellent idea, along with the appropriate location of a group list that people can use. _____ From: alac-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org on behalf of Vittorio Bertola Sent: Fri 10/12/2007 10:35 AM To: jam@jacquelinemorris.com Cc: 'At-Large Worldwide'; 'Danny Younger' Subject: Re: [At-Large] Summary for New gTLDs Workshop at ICANN LA Meeting Jacqueline A.

HI Danny, Alan
I am not sure that basing the proposed WG on substantial ALAC member participation will work, as many ALAC members seem to be really busy.
Hi, I don't want to sound rude, but I do have to post a call to order - if the members of the ALAC are so busy that they cannot devote any time to the single most important policy issue of the next few months, what do we have an ALAC for? Perhaps it's just a matter of getting priorities right. Ciao, -- vb.
