Following several discussions, including the publication of a staff discussion paper and a community session during the ICANN meeting in Beijing in April 2013, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council decided in July 2013 to form a Working Group (WG) which was tasked to provide the GNSO Council with a set of recommendations on a number of questions that specifically relate to policy and implementation in a GNSO context. The WG has now published its Initial Recommendations Report<http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/policy-implementation/pi-wg-initial-recommen...> [PDF, 1.46 MB] for community input which can be provided either through input received via this public comment forum or via the following survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PI-InitialReport Public Comment Box Link: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/policy-implementation-2015-01-19-en This message was sent to marika.konings@icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org> from: ICANN News Alert | communications@icann.org<mailto:communications@icann.org> | ICANN | 12025 Waterfront Drive Suite 300 | Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 Email Marketing by [iContact - Try It Free!] <http://www.icontact.com/a.pl/144186> Manage Your Subscription <http://app.icontact.com/icp/mmail-mprofile.pl?r=11415898&l=6333&s=KUM2&m=957...>
