Dear Cherine, gTLD Committee colleagues,

(cc GAC)

At this time, I would like to provide the following comments on behalf of the GAC.

The GAC believes it is important to address the concerns raised by the GAC and others about the fairness of Digital Archery, before it is launched.

The GAC further understands that the Board gTLD Committee intends to communicate next steps for providing further information to the GAC and identifying where there are linkages between Digital Archery, Batching, Root Scalability, Early Warning and GAC Advice/Objections so that there can be agreement reached, where appropriate, on the process and timelines. In essence, the GAC needs further information about ICANN’s approach in order to finalise its own processes.

Lastly, please be informed that the GAC intends to send a letter of advice before the meeting in Prague, related to the above.

Best, Heather Dryden Chair, Governmental Advisory Committee
