[alac] (fwd) New gTLD approval process

[Vittorio Bertola <vb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI - This is a message I've sent to Paul Verhoef about the new gTLD
process.

> Paul,
> 
> I was on the GNSO council call yesterday, and I was very interested in
> hearing the developments on the introduction of a process for new gTLD
> approval.
> 
> At this stage it is not clear to me whether what exactly you are trying
> to finalize by September 30, and what will be deferred to a second
> phase. So it would be great for us to get more information on ICANN's
> plans and timelines on this issue.
> 
> Moreover, as ALAC we have traditionally been very interested in the
> matter, releasing a number of statements in the past. So we would like
> to understand whether and how we can have a say in what will happen
> between now and end September; and, more generally, we hope that any
> substantive decision in this delicate field is taken only after
> appropriate review and public comment, even with such tight deadlines -
> and we are happy to help with that, if we can be of use.
> 
> Thanks,
