[image: image.png] Evan Leibovitch will introduce the concept of domaining and offer perspectives on the practices' effects on registrants, business innovation, ICANN and the domain name system. He warns participants that this presentation's approach to domaining will be akin to a vegan's description of an abattoir; registrants will be offered advice on how to circumvent domainers in getting a useful domain name.

In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xqIpUc3mC4PRP-zp2m0adYhgWf3EOEo2bwG7Hx9c_gx-…> deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xqIpUc3mC4PRP-zp2m0adYhgWf3EOEo2bwG7Hx9c_gx-…> served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xqIpUc3mC4PRP-zp2m0adYhgWf3EOEo2bwG7Hx9c_gx-…>Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xqIpUc3mC4PRP-zp2m0adYhgWf3EOEo2bwG7Hx9c_gx-…>, the GNSO Council adopted the <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xqIpUc3mC4PRP-zp2m0adYhgWf3EOEo2bwG7Hx9c_gx-…> charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xqIpUc3mC4PRP-zp2m0adYhgWf3EOEo2bwG7Hx9c_gx-…> for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group first concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It then conducted initial deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level.

The notes compare the responses made by the 48 At-Large respondents with the responses made by 176 participants from the whole of ICANN (including At-Large) You will see that there is quite a bit of alignment between the At-Large and the wider ICANN community responses. I will be making evaluative statements based on this summary, in preparation for a discussion that I will have with the other SO-AC Chairs in a couple of weeks. So, if there is anything really important that you would like me to relay to the team please let me know. There were some interesting individual comments made and in two sections I have added those made by At-Large into the table. I hope you find the results interesting because they will be used to decide how ICANN arranges its meetings in the future.
