Dear BC colleagues, Attached please find ICC's informal contribution on the impact of the new gTLD programme on the ICANN structures and priorities. The informal contribution is also available at: http://www.iccwbo.org/advocacy-codes-and-rules/areas-of-work/digital-economy... This informal contribution is a compilation of input received from members of ICC's Commissions on the Digital Economy and Intellectual Property to a survey we sent out to get feedback on these matters. This input provides a range of views on some issues, and is meant to enrich the discussions going on informally within ICANN. This contribution does not reflect consensus positions. Rather, it highlights a range of priorities from the diverse ICC membership. This input has been sent to ICANN leaders as an informal compilation of our survey results. We hope that this will be a useful contribution to discussions on these matters.
