[alac] Council call.

[Thomas Roessler <roessler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The GNSO Council met today for a one-hour conference call.

ICANN staff plans to prepare a revised report on new registry
services by September 23/24.

On new gTLDs, ICANN is expecting further reports from WIPO and SSAC.
A public comment period on the reports is expected to begin as early
as next week. A "strategy implementation plan" is expected for the
end of the month. Council plans to discuss this on its next call on
October 21. The ten applications for new sTLDs are not affected by
this.

On the recruitment front, ICANN is currently reviewing CVs received.

Under any other business, Marilyn Cade asked about the report
prepared by Liz Williams, who had -- as a consultant to the
President -- had asked GNSO participants about their experiences
with the PDP; this work had come as a surprise for Council members.
