In case you missed this, here is  news report coming out of the GAC meeting.

It focuses on making PICs a part of contract language, making ICANN actively responsible for their compliance and a commitment from ICANN to not sign a new gTLD contract until GAC advice has been given.  Note this: "ICANN COO Akram Attalah ensured: 'We will wait for GAC advice and ICANN Board reasoning and will not sign any contract before and put us in a position to have a contract change later.'”
