Dear ISPCP members We have not yet had an opportunity to discuss how we respond to this invitation. Against that background responding today would be particularly challenging, but we should be prepared to offer input late in the week. I welcome your input and guidance.

After the initial consultation the Board has graded these new gTLD issues as to whether the GAC and Board are: in agreement, in agreement in principle with some changes to be made, or in disagreement on each of the issues raised by the GAC. The purpose of these workshops is to receive community input on how the outstanding issues should be resolved, especially those where the GAC and Board are in disagreement. We invite you or a person you nominate to speak regarding how the outstanding issues should be resolved. We are looking forward to your leadership in focusing the discussion toward practical solutions. Please respond to Kurt Pritz regarding your plans.
