Thanks for distributing this Denise. I look forward for the New gTLD Committee to discuss the staff discussion points. It is great to see ongoing progress on implementation plans. I was surprised about one staff perception of the challenge processes, that anyone can challenge a string. That was not my understanding of what we as the New gTLD Committee intended. Did I miss something here? If that is the case, the NCUC comments in this regard are more on target than ever. It may be that the RN-WG recommendations for geographic and controversial names will help us deal with this.

Attached is the second ICANN staff implementation team "Discussion Points" document, which addresses the updated work of the New gTLDs Committee on the recommendations for the new top-level domain policy development process. The purpose of this document, which was developed by ICANN's Services staff, with the support of the Legal and Policy staff, is to provide staff comments to the current set of draft recommendations, with a view toward how each of the recommendations might be implemented. The points listed are to call to the attention of the GNSO some issues it may wish to take into consideration in its remaining discussions. Staff's intent is to support the bottom-up policy development process by ensuring that staff will be able to implement the Committee's final recommendations in a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory way.
Regards,
Denise
