    Dear Councillors,

    As you can see from the email below, GNSO is establishing a new
    Work Track 5 (WT5) within the GNSO’s New gTLD Subsequent
    Procedures PDP Working Group. They are asking us to nominate a
    co-leader to that WT. As they would like to move forward, the
    deadline is 18 August. Even though I believe they won’t start any
    serious developments without full support from all parties, it
    would be nice to meet the deadline and to allow our representative
    to take an active part in the work of the WT5 from the very beginning.

    We discussed the way forward at great length at several meetings.
    Therefore I would like to propose that the ccNSO Council nominates
    Annebeth Lange, .no, our co-chair on the CCWG on the Use of
    Country and Territory Names, as a co-leader of the WT5 from the
    ccNSO. Annebeth confirmed her availability and her willingness to
    continue the work.

    If you have any objections or wish to express your support, please
    let me know by 17 August, 18.00 UTC. No response will be counted
    as support for nomination of Annebeth.

    Thank you very much!

    Kind regards,

    *Subject:* New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG: Work Track 5 on
    Geographic Names at the Top-Level

    **Sending on behalf of the  New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG
    co-chairs

    Dear Katrina,

    On behalf of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG, we write
    to you in your capacity as chair of ccNSO. This email is in
    regards to the topic of geographic names at the top-level,
    recently discussed during the cross community sessions at
    ICANN59.  In addition, we want to state our agreement with the GAC
    which in its Communique for ICANN59 stated that “any further
    process of policy review and development should: (a) continue to
    allow all stakeholder groups to participate equally; (b) take into
    account the history and rationale of the arrangements currently in
    place; and (c) apply an evidence-based policy approach to any
    proposals for future arrangements” in dealing with Geographic
    Names as Top-Level Domains.

    Pursuant to those discussions and the recommendations provided by
    the GAC, we are establishing a new Work Track 5 (WT5) within the
    GNSO’s New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group.  This new
    WT5 will focus exclusively on geographic names at the top-level.     In order to promote broad participation from across the community,
    we are seeking to establish a shared leadership model in WT5. We
    are requesting that one representative from each of the ALAC,
    ccNSO, GAC and GNSO be nominated (through whatever mechanism is
    deemed appropriate by each group) to serve as a co-leader of WT5
    by *August 18, 2017.*    .

    We are aware that some members of the community are concerned
    about this topic being addressed under the auspices of a GNSO PDP
    WG. That said, we are also aware of recommendations from the
    recently concluded CCWG on the Use of Country and Territory Names
    that the work should be consolidated into a single community-wide
    initiative  moving forward as opposed to having each SO and AC
    working on recommendations independently.

    As such, we are strongly recommending that the leaders of WT5
    operate WT5 similarly to a cross community working group, ensuring
    that each SO and AC participate equally to achieve consensus on
    any recommendations proposed by the Work Track. While we believe
    that ultimately, it will be up to WT5 itself to draft the terms of
    reference for WT5 and determine its structure and operating
    procedures, we recommend that the co-leaders discuss these issues
    with the PDP co-chairs and staff first in order to frame the
    issues and structure for the group. Setting up this arrangement
    within the GNSO PDP seems to strike a balance between establishing
    an inclusive and collaborative structure while maintaining the
    ability to develop policy as determined by ICANN’s Bylaws. After
    the co-leaders are appointed and have had a chance to discuss
    plans, we will issue a call to each of the SOs and ACs seeking
    volunteers from the community to participate in WT5.

    We hope that you support our proposed multi-stakeholder approach
    to work with the community in addressing a topic that is clearly
    of great importance to many.  We hope to be able to organize an
    introductory meeting the first week of September 2017, in order to
    allow the co-leaders to come to agreement on WT5’s draft terms of
    reference . Finally, while we as co-chairs of the overall PDP WG
    support WT5’s independence, we nevertheless remain available to
    facilitate and provide assistance to the co-leaders as the need or
    desire arises.

    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

    Best regards,

    Avri Doria and Jeff Neuman
