From: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-07oct13-... 1. Main Agenda: a. New gTLD Collision Occurrence Management Whereas, on 15 March 2013, the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) published SAC 057: SSAC Advisory on Internal Name Certificates. Whereas, in response to the overall issues highlighted in SAC 057, the ICANN Board directed the President and CEO, in consultation with the SSAC, to commission a study on the use of TLDs that are not currently delegated at the root level of the public DNS (the "Name Collision Study"). Whereas, the Name Collision Study, together with a proposal to manage the risks identified in the Name Collision Study (the "Proposal") was published for public comment from 5 August to 17 September. The Proposal has been revised in response to public comments. Whereas, the NGPC is undertaking this action pursuant to the authority granted to it by the Board on 10 April 2012, to exercise the ICANN Board's authority for any and all issues that may arise relating to the New gTLD Program. Resolved (2013.10.07.NG01), the NGPC directs the President, Generic Domains Division to implement the proposal to manage the occurrence of collisions between new gTLDs and existing private uses of the same strings as presented in the "New gTLD Collision Occurrence Management Plan" attached as Annex 1 (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-annex-1-... ) and in doing so to take into account further advice that may be offered by SSAC and other experts and stakeholders. Resolved (2013.10.07.NG02), the NGPC directs the ICANN President and CEO, and as appropriate through the President, Generic Domains Division, to appropriately target the planned outreach campaign. The NGPC also recommends to the Board that: (1) the ICANN Board Risk Committee expressly reviews this matter and reports back to the Board, and continues to review and report at regular intervals; (2) the Board directs the ICANN President and CEO to develop a long-term plan to manage name collision at the root; and (3) the Board directs the ICANN President and CEO to work with the community to develop a long-term plan to retain and measure root-server data.
