<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Amr£¬<div><br></div><div>I am curious that you mention that the PDP was initiated by the ICANN Board, rather than the GNSO Council, and that the GNSO Council cannot reject it.</div><div><br></div><div>For my understanding, that means the PDP was not initated in a bottom-up multi-stakeholder manner.</div><div>Does anyone care about this?</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards</div><div>Peter<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2015 15:31:43 +0200<br>From: aelsadr@EGYPTIG.ORG<br>Subject: Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS Preliminary Issue Report<br>To: NCSG-DISCUSS@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU<br><br>Hi,<div><br></div><div>So it¡¯s finally here. A preliminary issues report kicking off the policy development process (PDP) for the post Expert Working Group on next generation gTLD registration directory services (aka WHOIS EWG).</div><div><br></div><div>This is a PDP that I suspect will keep the NCSG (and other groups within the ICANN community) quite busy over the next couple of years. The deadline to submit a comment on the preliminary issues report is September 6th.</div><div><br></div><div>For those who are interested, but not familiar with the GNSO PDP cycle, you can learn more about it here: <a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy/pdp" target="_blank">http://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy/pdp</a></div><div><br></div><div>Note¡, this PDP was initiated by the ICANN Board, not the GNSO Council. This means that after a final issues report is published, the GNSO Council cannot reject it. It will have to proceed to a PDP working group.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Amr<br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="ecxApple-interchange-newline"><blockquote><div style=""><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">"ICANN News Alert" <<a href="mailto:communications@icann.org">communications@icann.org</a>><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';"><b>ICANN News Alert -- Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS Preliminary Issue Report</b><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">July 14, 2015 at 1:45:27 AM GMT+2<br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';"><<a href="mailto:aelsadr@egyptig.org">aelsadr@egyptig.org</a>><br></span></div><div style=""><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Reply-To: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';"><a href="mailto:communications@icann.org">communications@icann.org</a><br></span></div><br><div><div style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:small;"><div style="width:758px;padding:10px;border:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);"><div style="width:738px;"><a href="http://www.icann.org/" target="_blank"><img alt="ICANN" src="http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg" style="border:0px;width:94px;height:94px;"></a><h2>News Alert</h2><p style="font-family:arial;font-size:small;"><a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-07-13-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-07-13-en</a></p><hr style=""><h2 style="clear:left;">Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS Preliminary Issue Report</h2>13 July 2015<BR><table class="ecxconvey" style="width:737px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;border:1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216);border-collapse:collapse;"><tbody><tr><td class="ecxlight" style="border:1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216);padding:0.5em;background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);"><strong>Forum Announcement:</strong></td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216);padding:0.5em;">Comment Period Opens on</td><td class="ecxlight" style="border:1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216);padding:0.5em;background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);"><strong>Date:</strong></td><td style="border:1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216);padding:0.5em;">13 July 2015</td></tr><tr><td class="ecxlight" style="border:1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216);padding:0.5em;background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);"><strong>Categories/Tags:</strong></td><td colspan="3" style="border:1px solid rgb(216, 216, 216);padding:0.5em;">Policy Processes;
