🔥 ACTION ITEM: Request for Feedback: Draft Framework for Closed Generic gTLDs

The community participants in the ongoing Closed Generics Facilitated Dialogue are requesting community feedback on a Draft Framework that can underpin additional policy work for handling closed generic gTLDs in future rounds of gTLDs. Individuals and community groups may provide feedback through their respective staff support teams or via email to closed-generics-feedback@icann.org by 15 July 2023.

Community feedback on the Draft Framework will inform the group’s development of a final framework, which is expected to be used as a basis for subsequent policy development work should there be broad community support for the final framework.

The Draft Framework and more information about the Facilitated Dialogue can be found on this wiki page: [r20.rs6.net]https://community.icann.org/x/Io6ZDg [r20.rs6.net]
