Hi, So can I take that to mean that if the City TLD group finished their formal statement shortly after the deadline, too late for a 30 day review before the next board meeting, you would be able initiate another 30 day review shortly after they submitted the formal petition and their application would then be on a Board agenda some reasonable time after the end of that comment period? And this would also apply to any other hitherto unknown application? thanks a. On 21 Apr 2009, at 18:09, Robert Hoggarth wrote:
Dear Avri:
Your general assumption about timing is correct. Your questions otherwise assume a level of planning and control that does not exist. Staff has been handling the various new constituencies as they have come along (i.e., a rolling basis). So far there have been four serious expression of interest. While three proponents have worked to get before the Board as soon as possible, the other has taken a less expedited approach to the process.
I think the timing and pace of the more recent proponents (IDNgTLDs and Consumers) has been faster because they have had previous examples to build on (CyberSafety). The City TLD group is the only one that has yet to submit its formal petition and charter.
Staff is currently unaware of any other serious proponents who are considering stepping forward.

Hi,
thanks for the update.
So this means we have 3 candidates for constituency in this pass (I really have a lot of trouble navigating the current web site - iu am sure it just me because it is improved, but i used ot know how to find things.)? I am assuming that the review period ends in time for these to be acted on by the board before the June meeting and before any new stakeholder groups would actually take their seats.
BTW, will other new constituencies be considered on a rolling basis, or is staff planning to batch them. And if the policy staff has decided to batch them, what is the time interval for the next batch?
thanks

Dear Kristina, Avri and other GNSO Council members:
The IDNgTLD proponents have modified their petition and charter to correct the “typos” Kristina identified. The revised document is attached as an FYI.
The Public Comment Forum is likely to be opened later today.
Best regards,
