Hello everybody,

I am Anthony Harris, member of the executive team of the ISPCP Constituency.

Am also Executive Director of the Argentina Internet Association (CABASE), and Executive Director

of the Latin America and Caribbean Federation of Internet and Electronic Commerce ( an applicant

for the new gTLD - '.lat' )

I was a member of the GNSO Council task force which developed the first version of the Applicant

Guidebook for new gTLDs in 2006.

Many useful suggestions have been expressed to fuel the content discussions of this WG, I would

simply add a wish to the list: perhaps this time we can shorten the lead time to acceptance of

applications for the second round of new gTLDs, since the ferocious lobby against the program

that was unleashed by known actors - the program was more or less described as the "mother

of all evils" - successfully delayed the application process for four years. Internet innovation

and deployment times tend to be considerably shorter...

Hello All,

I believe these introductions are a really good thing that will benefit the work to come. I would like to encourage those that have not sent an introduction message, and are inclined to do so, to respond to the list whenever you have a moment.

My name is Steve Chan and I will be leading the ICANN policy staff support for this Discussion Group. Previously, I spent a number of years with the New gTLD Program, so I hope that my experiences there will be beneficial to this effort.

Best,

Steve

Hello,

Great to see the introductions and the group starting to form, so I guess it is a good time to jump in

My name is Jeffrey Eckhaus and I am with Rightside Group. The parent company of eNom and Name.com both registrars as well as United TLD the registry for 30+ new TLDs as well as Rightside Registry, the back end service provider for 150+ new TLDs. 

As you can see, we are a vertically integrated entity with an interest in the rollout of another round of new TLDs and will hopefully be able to give perspective on all parts of the value chain. 

Thanks

Jeff
