All,

Second request to provide end-user perspectives on the next round of new gTLDs.  I've created a Google Doc that you can put your thoughts into, or you can respond to this email if you prefer.  I haven't written anything yet but I will (particularly if no one else does).

The link to our responsive document is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1abHgHXAp1cR6x47gkdOjZy2bza3zbb_exW4MS2FUMDA/edit?usp=sharing

The topics are as follows:

  1. Experiences from the previous round

  2. RALO expectations and needs from the next round


  3. How should the RALOs prepare for the next round?

  4. Promoting the new round (the end user perspective)


  5. Specific issues in the next round

    1. Applicant Support


    2. IDNs/Universal Acceptance


    3. Community applications


    4. Closed Generics


    5. Private Auctions


    6. ALAC Standing to Object


    7. Anything else?


I know you have opinions!  Please share them.  Thank you!

Greg

NARALO Members,

Please review the email below and reply to all with your thoughts ASAP. Since the responses will be used by me in a discussion at 1:45 PM Monday, and Monday morning is very full for NARALO, it would be best to have this substantially developed by Sunday evening. (!)

Thank you!

Greg

Dear RALO leaders,

At ICANN77, the ALAC is hosting a community session on the end user perspective ahead of the next gTLD application window on Monday, 12 June, 13:45 - 15:00.  The session will be a round table discussion of the five ICANN RALOs on the new gTLD program. Focusing on topics such as:

  • Applicant Support
  • IDNs/UA 
  • Community applications
  • Promoting the new round
  • Experiences from the previous round
  • RALOs expectations and needs of the next gTLDs rounds

The role of the RALOs during this session is to provide input from Internet end users on the next gTLD round. The session will help us facilitate communications to prospective and possible applicants with general focus on end users needs and interests.

 

**REQUEST/CALL TO ACTION: RALO leaders, in the upcoming days, please consult your members and be prepared to share your input during the ICANN77 session.**

 

 The Planning Document for this session, including the draft agenda, is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X_7p5AKZg6hc_rWWzy9idmu38-YIaWl29ImaQcVm8VE/edit#heading=h.uqt8o0rxdl1n.
