Subject: New gTLD Public Comments Acknowledgement
Dear Chris,
Thank you for your recent submission(s) to the ICANN New gTLD Draft
Applicant Guidebook public comments forum. Public comments are integral to
the development of the New gTLD process and we appreciate your taking the
time to submit feedback. Over the course of this first public comment
period to date, ICANN has received 317 comments through its dedicated
online fora. Respondents are from 24 different countries and each of the
five global regions.
It is acknowledge that in addition to comments received about the Draft
Applicant Guidebook, we received a considerable number of comments that
relate more broadly to issues surrounding the introduction of new gTLDs.
The many responses will be carefully considered, summarized and published
on the ICANN website in two phases. Before the end of the year, ICANN will
publish an initial summary of comments received to date including
statistics describing the depth and breadth of comments received and a
thematic summary of topics raised. The second document, to be published in
January after the closure of all Guidebook comment fora, will attribute
comments by source and provide a discussion and balancing of each of the
major issues raised.
Thank you again for your participation and for your interest in the New
gTLD program. Regular progress updates will be provided on the ICANN
website.
Should you wish to contact me regarding any other matter, please send me
an email at twomey(a)icann.org.
Yours sincerely,
Paul
Paul Twomey
President & CEO
