[npoc-voice] Progress Report on new gTLD issues raised in Prague
Dear NPOC Colleagues, See attached the Progress Report on new gTLD issues raised in Prague during ICANN44 as prepared by the New gTLD Committee of the ICANN Board (From http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/new-gtld/report-03aug12-en.pdf) Regarding our recent discussion on IOC and Red Cross protections, see page 5 and the appendix of said document: “7. The Board instructed ICANN staff members to review and report back on all inputs that have been provided on this issue, including: a. Previous public comment period b. Community inputs in Prague c. Additional inputs from IOC and Red Cross d. Status of GNSO work, following Board decision e. GAC inputs (if any). All recent inputs have been reviewed. The compilation of that material - each of the five types of input - is attached as an appendix. Review of this material indicates that the appropriate course is for the Board to leave these issues in the hands of ICANN’s policy-‐making bodies. This was the recommendation of the Board in its Singapore resolution when considering protections for the IOC and Red Cross. ICANN staff members are supporting that discussion in the GNSO. The IOC and Red Cross are addressing their comments to the GNSO. The GNSO is properly considering whether to do additional work on these issues. ” Regards, Eduardo Monge NPOC Communications Committee Chair Attachment:
