Thanks Stephan.  How about simplifying it to something like this: 'Ongoing delays for new gTLDs'?

Hi Chuck,

The main area of worry that I see remains the ever-delaying new gTLD program.

Would it be appropriate to suggest a topic along those lines (perhaps something like: "are delays to the new gTLD program hurting it and ICANN as a whole", or something more neutral like "suggestions to solve remaining overarching issues in 2010 and avoid further delays spilling into 2011")?

I realize some may not feel at ease being upfront about this. However, I do think GNSO Principle A is getting more and more often overlooked as time passes and that reminders that the GNSO's first focus was on the new gTLDs being introduced in a "orderly, timely and predictable way", the operative words here being timely and predictable, are warranted.

I'm sure we all realise that for prospective applicants, the current process is neither timely nor predictable...

Thanks,

Stéphane

I don't believe that there were any responses to this last week.  It would be helpful to receive some suggestions before our 18 Feb meeting so that we can hopefully finallize the topics then.

An agenda item for the 18 Feb Council meeting will be to finalize discussion topics for the Board/Staff/GNSO Dinner Meeting in Nairobi,  In preparation for that, I would like to request that Councilors propose topics this week.  Discussion of proposed topics is also encouraged on the list.
