Draft Invitation letter

I am writing to you in your capacity as chair of the GAC Universal Acceptance working party to invite the members of the GAC UA working party, and other members of the GAC who are interested to a working session to explore possible ways in which  ccTLD managers and governments could cooperate to increase UA awareness in countries. In Prague the ccNSO  UA Committee has introduced this topic to the broader ccTLD community, but is was felt already at the time that a joint working session in this area would be beneficial to both GAC members with an interest in UA awareness and the ccNSO UAC.

At our session in Prague two ccTLDs shared their experience on how the cooperation between the government and ccTLD could break barriers to UA readiness (https://static.sched.com/hosted_files/icann83/3e/ICANN83%20Breaking%20Barriers.pdf?_gl=1*6yd8xv*_gcl_au*MTg0MDYxODgzOS4xNzU1MDcwNDI2*FPAU*MTg0MDYxODgzOS4xNzU1MDcwNDI2)

We suggest that their presentation could be used a s case studies to explore areas for cooperation how such cooperation could be shaped. The details for such a joint working session need to be developed in close cooperation, between us.

Please let me know if the GAC UA would welcome such a session

On behalf of the ccNSO UAC
