Dear all, Forwarded on behalf of the GAC.

The GAC Sub-group on Geographic Names (which is a Sub-group of the GAC Working Group on Future New gTLDs) has developed a draft document for future New gTLD rounds outlining several public policy aspects related to geographic names and is currently seeking community input on the attached draft text (also announced on the GAC website at http://tinyurl.com/kzt8kbg). A previous version of this draft was presented in a public session during the London ICANN/GAC meetings and a similar session is planned for the October ICANN/GAC meetings in Los Angeles. The Working Group believes the receipt of community input on the current draft document would be beneficial to the October discussions, and further welcomes comments from all interested parties by October 31, 2014. Comments may be submitted to future-geo-doc-comments@gac.icann.org . Comments received will be posted on http://tinyurl.com/nc4knhn.

Very best regards Olof --------------------
