Dear Councilors, I have another update that the Council may want to factor into its plans for considering Supplemental Recommendations 24.3A, 24.3B, and 24.3C. The Board Caucus on New gTLD on Subsequent Procedures, with the assistance of ICANN org, has looked into the feasibility of implementing Supplemental Recommendations 24.3A, 24.3B, and 24.3C. Some concerns remain, so the Caucus has worked with ICANN org to try and identify a potential approach that would accomplish the intent of the recommendations (i.e., no singulars/plurals of existing gTLDs in the same language and applied-for singulars/plurals in the same language placed into a contention set) while minimizing remaining concerns. The Caucus and org have identified an approach that they believe can achieve the objective of the Supplemental Recommendations. While further work is needed to fully document the approach (note, the approach will also need to be discussed with the full Board), my org colleagues are working on first drafting a high-level overview of the approach to be shared with the Council. If after considering the high-level overview, the Council wishes to work further on the relevant Supplemental Recommendations, I understand that the Caucus remains available and willing to continue building upon the collaborative relationship it shares with the Council.
