Best, Steve Steven Chan Sr. Policy Manager ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 steve.chan@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
All, I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG. For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs. With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process. I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs. With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires neutrality in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment. I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday. Best regards, Jeffrey J.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires *neutrality* in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

From: gnso-newgtld-wg-bounces@icann.org [mailto:gnso-newgtld-wg-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Neuman via Gnso-newgtld-wg Sent: Friday, 19 February 2016 6:44 AM To: Steve Chan <steve.chan@icann.org> Cc: gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org Subject: Re: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] - Welcome to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG All, I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG. For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs. With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process. I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications.

All, <>
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires neutrality in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs. With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process. I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs. With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires neutrality in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment. I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday. Best regards, Jeffrey J.

Hi Diego, Welcome. Thanks for volunteering . Sorry you can’t make the call in a few hours. Is it your first participation on an ICANN WG. I am sure there are others in the same boat. I expect you will find the first few calls very daunting , especially trying to learn all the ICANN acronyms. I certainly did back in 2009 . I am sure Jeff, Avri and myself ( if we are elected) and Steve will set out the ground rules and standards of behaviour expected. I think what all participants need to appreciate is the consensus driven approach, so everybody’s comments, thoughts are treated equally with respect even if polls apart from their own view. You can always send me an email with any questions . I look forward to meeting you on the second call.

Good to hear that Phil, I too will not be able to make the call but i do have some queries. As a newcomer it is good to know that those opportunities exist.

Hi Diego,
Welcome. Thanks for volunteering . Sorry you can’t make the call in a few hours.
Is it your first participation on an ICANN WG. I am sure there are others in the same boat. I expect you will find the first few calls very daunting , especially trying to learn all the ICANN acronyms. I certainly did back in 2009 .
I am sure Jeff, Avri and myself ( if we are elected) and Steve will set out the ground rules and standards of behaviour expected.
I think what all participants need to appreciate is the consensus driven approach, so everybody’s comments, thoughts are treated equally with respect even if polls apart from their own view.
You can always send me an email with any questions . I look forward to meeting you on the second call.
Best regards,
Phil

I will not be able to take the call today so I will miss this first meeting (but I will be with you during the rest).
I should say that I am not familiar with those who have volunteered from some more active role (for which we thank you) so I guess that I will follow the majority this time (many of you know each other and I have seen excellent references for those being volunteered).
Best,
Diego

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires *neutrality* in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

Hi, I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires *neutrality* in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires *neutrality* in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

Hi, Thanks Rafik. If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role. I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time. We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity. I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process. So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on. Thanks avri On 22-Feb-16 07:48, Rafik Dammak via Gnso-newgtld-wg wrote:

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks

Hi,

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

Glad to work with Avri as a co-chair. Her experience and lessons learned from the last round is extremely valuable. I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter. So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks
avri

Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.
Best.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

*WG Leadership*
Per the Council's resolution, until such time as the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG selects a chair(s) for the WG and that chair(s) is/are confirmed by the GNSO Council, the GNSO Council liaison to the WG, Paul McGrady, will serve as the interim chair. For those interested in volunteering for a leadership position in the WG, please review the attached document, which outlines the tasks and expected skills of a GNSO WG Chair. *If you would like to put forth your name for a WG leadership position, please feel free to do so on the email list in advance of the first meeting as it is hoped that the selection of the WG Chair(s) will take place during that first meeting. *
*Recommended materials to review prior to the first meeting*
Please review the materials posted on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG's wiki (see https://community.icann.org/x/PAp1Aw) prior to the first meeting, especially:

I would like to nominate Steven Coates for Co-Chair . Steven is very active in the Non-Contracted party house and has a very good knowledge of the process. He is an excellent leader and is very well organized. He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition. Ken Stubbs On 2/22/16 11:20, Jeff Neuman via Gnso-newgtld-wg wrote:
Glad to work with Avri as a co-chair. Her experience and lessons learned from the last round is extremely valuable.
I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter. So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles. I participated mostly as an observer in the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good practices from that group that can and should be carried forward, including the spreading out of work to a variety of different people on this diverse set of issues.
I look forward to speaking with everyone in a few hours.

I would be honored to be considered as co-chair. I'm an active member of the BC, and Associate Director for Twitter. Unfortunately, I'm jumping on a plane in a few minutes, but after I'm back in California, I can respond substantively. Also, I will not be able to make today's call as I'll be in the air, but I promise to attend all future calls. This is an area that I'm personally and professionally interested in, and I'm very excited to be part of the process.

I would like to nominate Steven Coates for Co-Chair . Steven is very active in the Non-Contracted party house and has a very good knowledge of the process.
He is an excellent leader and is very well organized.
He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition.

Glad to work with Avri as a co-chair. Her experience and lessons learned from the last round is extremely valuable.
I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter. So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles. I participated mostly as an observer in the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good practices from that group that can and should be carried forward, including the spreading out of work to a variety of different people on this diverse set of issues.
I look forward to speaking with everyone in a few hours.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

In addition to the information already shared in the call for volunteers, I wanted to provide you with some further details concerning next steps.

*WG Leadership*
Per the Council's resolution, until such time as the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG selects a chair(s) for the WG and that chair(s) is/are confirmed by the GNSO Council, the GNSO Council liaison to the WG, Paul McGrady, will serve as the interim chair. For those interested in volunteering for a leadership position in the WG, please review the attached document, which outlines the tasks and expected skills of a GNSO WG Chair. *If you would like to put forth your name for a WG leadership position, please feel free to do so on the email list in advance of the first meeting as it is hoped that the selection of the WG Chair(s) will take place during that first meeting. *
*Recommended materials to review prior to the first meeting*
Please review the materials posted on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG's wiki (see https://community.icann.org/x/PAp1Aw) prior to the first meeting, especially:

You will be receiving further information about these in a separate email. The WG may also identify needs for additional introductory webinars or tutorial materials.
Should you have any questions or comments, please let us know.
Best,
Steve

He is an excellent leader and is very well organized.
He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition.

Glad to work with Avri as a co-chair. Her experience and lessons learned from the last round is extremely valuable.
I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter. So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles. I participated mostly as an observer in the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good practices from that group that can and should be carried forward, including the spreading out of work to a variety of different people on this diverse set of issues.
I look forward to speaking with everyone in a few hours.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks
avri

Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.
Best.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

Dear WG Members,
While there have already been some emails exchanged, I wanted to take the opportunity to welcome you all and thank you for volunteering for the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process Working Group (PDP WG). In addition to the information already shared in the call for volunteers, I wanted to provide you with some further details concerning next steps.
*First meeting*
Monday 22 February at 22:00 UTC
*Statements of Interest*
The majority of Members have already completed this task, but as requested by the GNSO Secretariat in the confirmation email that you received after signing up for this WG, please provide a Statement of Interest by going to: https://community.icann.org/x/cYLg <https://community.icann.org/x/cYLg> if you have not done so already. You will need to use your Confluence Login ID and Password to access this and other workspaces within the Confluence wiki site.

The current list of members and observers, including SOIs provided, can be found here: https://community.icann.org/x/Ogp1Aw.
*WG Leadership*
Per the Council's resolution, until such time as the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG selects a chair(s) for the WG and that chair(s) is/are confirmed by the GNSO Council, the GNSO Council liaison to the WG, Paul McGrady, will serve as the interim chair. For those interested in volunteering for a leadership position in the WG, please review the attached document, which outlines the tasks and expected skills of a GNSO WG Chair. *If you would like to put forth your name for a WG leadership position, please feel free to do so on the email list in advance of the first meeting as it is hoped that the selection of the WG Chair(s) will take place during that first meeting. *
*Recommended materials to review prior to the first meeting*
Please review the materials posted on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG's wiki (see https://community.icann.org/x/PAp1Aw) prior to the first meeting, especially:
* The Final Issue Report (http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-final-issue-...); * The PDP WG Charter (http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-charter-21ja... <https://community.icann.org/x/E4xlAw>); * The GNSO Working Group Guidelines (http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf); * The PDP Manual (http://gnso.icann.org/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-13jun13-en.pdf)
*Newcomer webinars*
For those that are new to a GNSO Working Group and/or the GNSO Policy Development Process, we'll be hosting two separate webinars in the near future that are intended to aid newcomers to the GNSO to learn about the administrative workings of a WG (conference call facilities, Adobe Connect, wiki, etc) as well as the GNSO Policy Development Process. You will be receiving further information about these in a separate email. The WG may also identify needs for additional introductory webinars or tutorial materials.
Should you have any questions or comments, please let us know.
Best,
Steve

He is an excellent leader and is very well organized.
He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition.

I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter. So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles. I participated mostly as an observer in the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good practices from that group that can and should be carried forward, including the spreading out of work to a variety of different people on this diverse set of issues.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks
avri

Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

I look forward to speaking with everyone in a few hours.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks
avri

Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.
Best.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

My apologies for missing yesterday's call. I couldn't make the rescheduled time. By way of introduction, I am Associate Director at Twitter, and have been an active member of the Business Constituency for 2 years on behalf of Twitter (including currently serving on the Credentials Committee and the committee set to review and revise the BC Bylaws). I am also currently serving on the 2016 NomCom as the BC delegate. Prior to my position at Twitter, I was Senior Counsel at Amazon during the first round. I have been an active committee member of INTA (International Trademark Association) since 2007, and am currently chairing a subcommittee on the Internet Committee. My practice predominately focuses on intellectual property, domain names, marketing, advertising and privacy issues, both on the legal and policy side. I've been active in managing legal issues in the domain world since 1997. I'm keenly interested in new gTLDs, and can confirm that I have no financial benefit by any of the contracted parties. I also am not financially compensated by the contracted parties through an advisory role, or as an employee. I understand there is some concern about experience of the leadership on this WG. I can only provide that I have served on a WG in the past, and promise to be impartial and unbiased should I be chosen to represent the WG in a leadership function, as I have in other leadership roles that I have served. I am happy to address any questions on my background or anything else.

This is an area that I'm personally and professionally interested in, and I'm very excited to be part of the process.

He is an excellent leader and is very well organized.
He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition.

I support the nomination of Steve Coates and think he would be an excellent Chair or Co-Chair of the working group. Since I also supported Jeff and Avri, let me share my thinking on this. My instinct tells me that even if we just review all of the issues identified and come to the conclusion that nothing needs to be changed, we have a lot of work to do. If we decide that something needs to be changed or added, we will have even more work to do. Volunteer time is precious, and I welcome anyone who wishes to offer us their attention and effort. I support having Jeff, Avri and Steve act as co-chairs of the working group. I also support Phil as a vice-chair, or co-chair, if that’s the role he wants. Many hands make light work. I then would delegate to our leadership team the authority to designate one of their members as the lead, or rotate as the lead, if they think someone needs to take that role. - Bret Bret Fausett General Counsel ____________________________ <http://www.uniregistry.com/> Uniregistry, Inc. 2161 San Joaquin Hlils Road Newport Beach, California 92660 Mobile +1 310 985 1351 Office +1 949 706 2300 x4201 bret@uniregistry.com <mailto:bret@uniregistry.com>

All. First, apologies for missing the first meeting of the group. Second, I would like to support the nomination of Steve Coates as Co-Chair, and Bret's logic in his email supporting the nomination. I think that would be a well-balanced triumvirate. Third, I'll briefly introduce myself. I'm a member of the Intellectual Property Constituency, where I currently serve as President. I'm an appointed Member of the CWG-Stewardship and a participant/survivor of the CCWG-Accountability. I'm a lawyer in private practice in New York City, concentrating on IPR/technology/internet matters, including transactional, protection, enforcement and counseling. Clients range from one-woman startups to global companies. I've been a member of the IPC since 2007. I've also been involved in ICANN matters through the INTA Internet Committee, which I've been on (and off and on and off and back on) since 2004. In my spare time, I play the bari sax.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don't know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO's STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

I would like to nominate Steven Coates for Co-Chair . Steven is very active in the Non-Contracted party house and has a very good knowledge of the process.
He is an excellent leader and is very well organized.
He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

I would like to nominate Steven Coates for Co-Chair . Steven is very active in the Non-Contracted party house and has a very good knowledge of the process.
He is an excellent leader and is very well organized.
He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition.

Glad to work with Avri as a co-chair. Her experience and lessons learned from the last round is extremely valuable.
I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter. So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles. I participated mostly as an observer in the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good practices from that group that can and should be carried forward, including the spreading out of work to a variety of different people on this diverse set of issues.
I look forward to speaking with everyone in a few hours.

I would like to nominate Steven Coates for Co-Chair . Steven is very active in the Non-Contracted party house and has a very good knowledge of the process.
He is an excellent leader and is very well organized.
He also brings a "fresh perspective" into the group . We really need fresh and enthusiastic volunteers here and Steven as a co-chair would be an excellent addition.

Glad to work with Avri as a co-chair. Her experience and lessons learned from the last round is extremely valuable.
I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter. So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles. I participated mostly as an observer in the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good practices from that group that can and should be carried forward, including the spreading out of work to a variety of different people on this diverse set of issues.
I look forward to speaking with everyone in a few hours.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

Hi Avri , Jeff, SPPDP Participants, As I have previously indicated I would be honoured to take on a No2 role in support of the Chair(s) of this new GNSO WG. As Avri knows we have both been heavily involved in the CCWG -Accountability WG . This has been a huge effort , very time consuming , huge commitment by the Co Chairs , Mathieu, Thomas and Leon. I think my particular gTLD skills sets, knowledge , involvement in Round 1 compliment Jeff's and Avri 's nicely. I would be happy to share the workload and support Jeff and Avri as Co Chairs.

Hi Avri , Jeff, SPPDP Participants,
As I have previously indicated I would be honoured to take on a No2 role in support of the Chair(s) of this new GNSO WG. As Avri knows we have both been heavily involved in the CCWG -Accountability WG . This has been a huge effort , very time consuming , huge commitment by the Co Chairs , Mathieu, Thomas and Leon. I think my particular gTLD skills sets, knowledge , involvement in Round 1 compliment Jeff's and Avri 's nicely. I would be happy to share the workload and support Jeff and Avri as Co Chairs.

Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies, something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be honored to take it on.
Thanks
avri

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don't know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO's STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires /neutrality/ in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.

I would not be bothered by a co-chair framework. And if that comes into being I definitely would support Avri as co-chair. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Mon, Feb 22, 2016 at 12:48 AM, Rafik Dammak via Gnso-newgtld-wg < gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org> wrote:
Hi,
I would like to nominate Avri Doria as co-chair. She will bring her experience as former GNSO chair and councillor when the new gTLD policies for previous round were discussed, in addition being involved in the discussion group for the subsequent rounds.
Best.

All,
I would like to put my name forward as volunteering for a leadership position within the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG.
For those of you who don’t know me, promoting competition in the gTLD namespace and the introduction of gTLDs have been my key areas of focus for the past fifteen years and I have participated actively in each of the new gTLD rounds to date. Prior to working at my present company, Valideus/Com Laude, I worked at Neustar for close to 15 years in the Registry Services organization both on the legal and policy side. Through that work, I participated in the application, administration and operation of the .BIZ top-level domain in 2000, as well as the application and implementation processed for the back-end operation of .travel and .tel selected in the 2005 round of new gTLDs.
With respect to the latest round of new gTLDs, I have been very active serving on numerous GNSO subcommittees since 2005, including those that initially established the program. In addition, I served as the exclusive registry stakeholder group member on the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to recommend Rights Protection Mechanisms for the new gTLD Program to the ICANN Board as well as the GNSO’s STI Group to devise implementation mechanisms for those Rights Protection mechanisms. Further, I also helped lead a small group to ensure that the Trademark Clearinghouse was implemented in a centralized (vs. decentralized) manner. I also worked on a number of other issues including the Registry/Registrar vertical integration working group in 2009 and 2010, and co-chaired the first working group on the protection of IOC and Red Cross names at the top level. Most recently I served as one of the co-chairs of the new gTLD Discussion Group on new gTLD Subsequent Rounds working on drawing up a list of issues for the GNSO to consider in this policy development process.
I have unique insights into the new gTLD program that I would like to bring to this Working Group having an Intellectual Property legal background, but also ample experience working directly at a Registry, a back-end registry services provider, and more recently at a Registrar and Registry Services consulting firm. While at Neustar (2001-early 2015) I was able to head up the Registry Services business team responsible for the launch of .nyc, but also serving as the back end operator for 350+ generic and brand top-level domain applications. In that capacity, I was responsible for soliciting both gTLDs and brand TLDs and was able to lead the team into signing up TLD applications of any back-end registry operator. In addition, I was the business and relationship lead for the .nyc TLD which launched a little over one year ago. At Com Laude/Valideus, I have also seen a number of other perspectives of the new gTLD program both from a corporate registrar/brand protection perspective as well as a company that provides consultative services to a number of brand TLDs (through Specification 13) and to restricted and unrestricted TLDs.
With all of that said, I understand that a leadership position within the WG requires *neutrality* in ensuring that all viewpoints are heard without having any pre-conceived notions or outcomes. I have reviewed the requirements with my employer and while they may have opinions on a number of the elements of the new gTLD program, they understand that if they want to express those views and I am on the leadership team, those views must be expressed by other members of my organization. I have chaired a number of other working groups both within the ICANN community, including ones on Whois, and the reformation of the Policy Development Process. I understand the time commitment involved and am ready to make that commitment.
I would be happy to answer any questions and I look forward to talking on Monday.
