Dear All, On behalf of Evan Leibovitch, Chair of the At-Large New gTLD Working Group, this is a call for membership of the At-Large New gTLD Working Group. New members are welcome to join and current members are asked to re-confirm their membership. Please either indicate your interest by commenting on the At-Large New gTLD Working Group workspace (see: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2263793) or by writing At-Large staff at: staff@atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by Friday, 2 May 2014. The current mandate includes the following work items: * Objection Process<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/Objection+Process>: At-Large is charged with developing a method to accept, filter and submit community-based objections to TLD proposals (similar to what the GAC will have) * Public Interest Issues in new gTLDs: The Public Interest Commitment (PIC) component of the gTLD expansion may not serve its intended purposes. At-Large continues to evaluate the PIC system and possible develop alternative methods for maintaining public trust in the new domains. * Outreach evaluation & recommendation<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=38044058> Review and remediation of poor results in both applications for new gTLDs and applications for support from developing economies. * At-Large New gTLD Rollout Issues Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+New+gTLD+Rollout+Issues...>: As the gTLD process unfolds, At-Large will want to observe its rollout and may develop further advice on it going forward.
