Hi Bruce, Thanks - will update the list and resend it! Regards Olof -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Tonkin Sent: den 15 augusti 2005 11:10 To: Olof Nordling Cc: council@gnso.icann.org Subject: RE: [council] New TLDs - resolution and document overview Hello Olof, Please add the Council resolution of 22 May 2003: http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030522.GNSOteleconf-minutes.html See http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030509.gTLDs-committee-conclusions-v4.h tml Decision: In response to the question asked of it by the Board, the GNSO council concludes: * Expansion of the gTLD namespace should be a bottom-up approach with names proposed by the interested parties to ICANN. Expansion should be demand-driven. * Furthermore, there should be a set of objective criteria to be met in any future expansion. * The development of this set of objective criteria should be the subject of a new Policy Development Process (PDP). These ideas are expanded in a report together with the responses of the GNSO Constituencies and the ALAC which will be forwarded to the Board in June. Updated report: http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030612.gTLDs-committee-conclusions-v7.h tml

From minutes of Council meeting on 24 June 2003 (Montreal): http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20030624.GNSOmontreal-minutes.html

Decision 4: The GNSO Council advises the ICANN Board that the namespace should be market driven and that organizations were free to propose names that they believed would be of use to DNS users. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
