Making no comment about the campaign, I do recommend that those interested in this important subject review the current draft of the gTLD report, available at: http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/pdp-dec05-fr- a-18jun07.pdf This is a very fundamental area of ICANN policy, which will have effects for many years to come throughout the world - informed participation in this debate is always the best kind of participation. There is an area about new gTLD policy at: http://www.icann.org/ topics/gtld-strategy-area.html On 27 Jun 2007, at 14:36, Michael Maranda wrote:
NCUC is doing a press release on this campaign shortly.
ALSs that support shoudl consider signing on. I'd also like to ask our NA RALO to consider endorsing this and considering submitting its own particular views on this topic. perhaps other RALOs might endorse as well.
I have disseminated this to my constituents and to several other listservs.

The Keep The Core Neutral Coalition is committed to protecting freedom of expression and innovation in domain name policy at ICANN.
This means basing gTLD-approval policy on criteria of only a technical/operational and related nature, and refraining from embedding any particular national, regional, moral, or religious policy objectives into global ICANN policy.
