The leadership team of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process Working Group is seeking your input on the issue of geographic names at the top level. All are welcome and encouraged to participate. The following activities are intended to facilitate a broad community-wide dialogue on this topic to feed into the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP:
- Webinar sessions on Tuesday 25 April 2017 at 15:00 to 17:00 UTC and 22:00 to 0:00 UTC – All community members were invited to submit and present positions on the treatment of geographic names at the top level to be presented in the webinars. The webinar sessions served as a starting point for discussion that will continue at ICANN59.
- Extended sessions will be held in Johannesburg to work through the positions presented in the webinars and to propose solutions seeking common ground on a way forward.
If you have any questions about the webinar or the ICANN59 session, please email Geo-Names-Session@icann.org.
