Dear GNSO Constituency Leaders and Members;

For your information, attached please find a copy of the Formal Petition and Charter of the proposed new City Top-Level Domain Constituency submitted by Dirk Krischenowski of dotBERLIN GmbH & Co. KG.

This significant step represents the fourth formal new constituency petition submitted to the Board in the context of the new GNSO Improvements effort. The Staff will soon open a 30-day Public Comment Forum regarding the Petition which will extend into July.  Any comments submitted in the Forum will be summarized for the Board’s review.

I have shared a copy of the attached documents with the Board and the GNSO Council as well.  The document is now also posted on the GNSO Improvements web page at http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/newco-process-en.htm.@icann.org

Please drop me a line if you have any questions or comments on this matter.

Best regards,

Rob Hoggarth
