- Draft Materials For Consideration
by Steve Chan March 1, 2015

March 1, 2015

Dear DG Members, Staff has prepared some materials for the DG to consider that will hopefully further the work of the group. Attached, please find the following documents: * A Gantt chart to illustrate a work plan that allows this group to deliver its outputs to the GNSO Council prior to ICANN53 in Buenos Aires. * An executive summary document that provides a limited amount of the history on the original PDP, the current state of the New gTLD program, and a description of the proposed deliverables to be developed by this group. * Staff has taken the liberty of preparing a first draft of a matrix to assign the issues identified by this group to their logical place, if one exists, within the original GNSO recommendations. Where an issue may not relate to any existing policy recommendation, it can be found on the second tab, which highlights areas for potential new policy work. This document is staff¹s attempt at structuring the deliberations of the DG to date and putting them into a constructive format to analyze how the issues should be tackled (e.g., new policy, update to existing policy language, implementation guidance, etc.). Hopefully the DG finds this document useful, but it is of course up to the group to determine if this document is worthy of acting as a starting basis or if deliberations should start from a clean slate. > * In the matrix, staff has noted where it believes the areas described in the > Board Resolution from 17 November 2014 > (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-annex-a-17nov14-en.… > f) fall into the existing recommendations (or is beyond the scope of those > recommendations), but has not incorporated any of the opinions found in that > document. > * Staff has also not incorporated the input received from GDD staff. I look forward to discussing these materials on our call on Monday 02 March at 15:00 UTC.

All, I notice it has been more than a month or so since any recent activity. There was an update given at ICANN in Singapore and I thought there was a report that was supposed to come out. What is the current state of affairs on this and the action plan moving forward. Happy to help out if I can. Thanks. Jeffrey J.

Jeff, Sorry for the belated response. Confirming your message was received and noting that your offer to help is appreciated. Currently, Bret and I are working on an updated work plan and preparing some draft documents per the email staff sent 28 January, set for distribution prior to the next meeting. I need to confirm with Bret, but I believe we are targeting Monday, 2 March at 15:00 UTC for our next meeting, with meetings following every two weeks thereafter. If any DG members have an objection to that proposed recurring schedule, please feel free to voice your opinion on the email list.
