One of the new gTLD reviews currently in progress is the root system stability study; the first results were presented a few days ago in the DNS-OARC meeting in Buenos Aires. Slides available at: https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/22/session/1/contribution/28 Video: https://youtu.be/r7G_C0ymCt0?t=1h48m26s TL;DR version is "steady as she goes". Rubens

GNSO Council Resolutions 24 June 2015
by Glen de Saint Géry June 24, 2015

June 24, 2015

FYI 4. Request for a Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLDs Subsequent Rounds Whereas, 1. In 2005, this Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) began a policy development process to consider the introduction of new gTLDs, which resulted in the creation of certain policy recommendations for the launch of a new gTLD application process; and, 2. In September 2007, this Council adopted the policy recommendations from the GNSO policy development process and forwarded them to the ICANN Board of Directors; and, 3. The Final Report stated that " This policy development process has been designed to produce a systemised and ongoing mechanism for applicants to propose new top-level domains." 4. In June 2008, the ICANN Board adopted the GNSO's policy recommendations for the introduction of new gTLDs and directed staff to develop an implementation plan for a new gTLD introduction process; and 5. In June 2011, the ICANN Board approved an Application Guidebook ("AGB") for new gTLDs and authorized the launch of the New gTLD Program; and, 6. In June 2012, the first round application submission period closed; and, 7. In June 2014, this Council created the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group (DG) to discuss experiences gained and lessons learned from the 2012 New gTLD round and identify subjects for future issue reports, that may lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent procedures; and, 8. In August 2014, the DG began deliberations, focusing primarily on the identification of issues that members experienced in the 2012 New gTLD round; and, 9. In November 2014, the ICANN Board provided initial input on areas for possible policy work in Annex A related to a resolution on Planning for Future gTLD Application Rounds. 10. The DG developed a matrix which attempts to associate identified issues with a corresponding principle, policy recommendation or implementation guidance from the 2007 Final Report on New Generic Top-Level Domains, or to note that the issue may warrant new policy work. Furthermore, the DG developed a draft PDP WG charter that identifies subjects, divided into provisional groupings, for further analysis in a potential Issue Report and potential PDP; and, 11. The DG recommends that its set of deliverables serve as the basis for analysis in a single Issue Report. Now therefore, it is resolved: 1. The GNSO Council requests a single Issue Report that will analyze subjects that may lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent New gTLD Procedures. The Preliminary Issue Report should at a minimum consider: * The subjects that the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group identified in its deliverables (i.e., issues matrix and draft charter); * Global Domains Division Staff input to the deliberations of the DG, and; * The ICANN Board Resolution Annex A regarding Initial Input on Areas for Possible Policy work. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

- Final Deliverables
by Steve Chan June 12, 2015

June 12, 2015

Dear DG Members, Thank you to all that were able to join the DG call on 8 June. I have incorporated one excellent suggested change from Susan Payne into Group 3 of the charter, which you will find in the attached red-lined document. Besides that one change, there did not appear to be any objections, suggestions, or comments related to the DG¹s final deliverables and as such, I¹ve compiled all drafts into a single clean document, which you will also find attached. All drafts and final deliverables are available on the Wiki here: https://community.icann.org/display/DGNGSR/DRAFT+Deliverables As was discussed on the call, these final deliverables, a Request for Issue Report, and a motion will be put forth to the GNSO Council prior to the 14 June document and motion deadline, with possible Council action during the 24 June public Council meeting. Best, Steven Chan Sr. Policy Manager ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 steve.chan(a)icann.org <mailto:steve.chan@icann.org> direct: +1.310.301.3886 mobile: +1.310.339.4410 tel: +1.310.301.5800 fax: +1.310.823.8649
