SECRETARIAT: ISPCP Constituency Activity on new TLDs
All: The ISPCP Secretariat agreed to help coordinate a discussion of technical and administrative acceptance of new TLDs at the Montreal and Rome ICANN meetings. That effort is starting up and one of the initiatives is a mailing list devoted to the topic of global acceptance of new TLDs. That mailing list is called "tld-global-acceptance." The purpose of the list is to discuss ways to increase the acceptance of gTLD strings introduced after the original eight (.arpa, .com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, .org) were established. Currently, those gTLDs, both sponsored and unsponsored, include .aero, .biz, .coop, .info, .museum, .name, .pro. It is anticipated that the current round of consideration for new sTLDs will lead to additional gTLDs. Many of the newer TLDs have encountered problems with web-based and other applications in using their gTLDs for email and other purposes. The purpose of this list is to facilitate identification of where the difficulties arise, and to determine some strategies to address these difficulties. The goal is to enhance usability of all the gTLDs globally, and to develop some strategies for coping with additions to the TLD namespace in the future. This list is currently open to the Registry and ISP constituencies of the GNSO. I If you would like to be added to the mailing list, please drop me a note!

Mark, I have just forwarded an e-mail from the .coop registry asking for help. I would also like to suggest that we invite major mail client software providers such as Microsoft to participate in the working group (MSN), since I talked to Paul Twomey in Montevideo on this and he agreed this was a good idea.
