Following several discussions, including the publication of a staff discussion paper and a community session during the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="direction: ltr;">ICANN</abbr> meeting in Beijing in April 2013, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (<abbr title="Generic Names Supporting Organization" style="direction: ltr;">GNSO</abbr>) Council decided in July 2013 to form a Working Group (<abbr title="Working Group" style="direction: ltr;">WG</abbr>) which was tasked to provide the <abbr title="Generic Names Supporting Organization" style="direction: ltr;">GNSO</abbr> Council with a set of recommendations on a number of questions that specifically relate to policy and implementation in a <abbr title="Generic Names Supporting Organization" style="direction: ltr;">GNSO</abbr> context.</div><div><div><br></div><div>The public comment period closes on March 3rd.
