Would you like to post something similar to the Council list? Denise Michel wrote:

Members of the ccNSO are invited to attend a special, interactive workshop at ICANN's Los Angeles meeting focused on the GNSO Council's final report on the introduction of new gTLDs. The New gTLDs Workshop

will be held Monday afternoon, 29 October (tentatively scheduled from 12:30 to 18:30). Participants will receive a comprehensive overview of the recommendations recently approved by the GNSO Council for the introduction of new gTLDs, including the principles, recommendations, and implementation guidelines contained in the Council's final report that is being sent to ICANN's Board for consideration.

The introduction of new top-level domains is a core element of ICANN's

mission. The policies that have emerged from the GNSO's policy development process are central to establishing an open and transparent system for the introduction of new top-level domains. The

workshop will feature extensive opportunities for audience comments and questions and Council responses. The GNSO's final report on the introduction of new gTLDs can be found at <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm

(Part A) and <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-partb-01aug07.htm

We look forward to seeing you in LA.
