<p><b><u>My thoughts for the upcoming year: </u></b>2025 is the
year of Applicant Support. We will need to follow the program
closely. We know the financial resources to be provided (greatly
reduced costs for New gTLD applications). </p>
<p>We also need to work hard to help ICANN create "non-financial
resources" to support noncommercial groups, indigenous peoples and
tribes, small businesses and entrepreneurs. (Those who qualify for
the Applicant Support Program (ASP) must then go on to prepare
their their New gTLD applications -- a detailed document of legal,
technical and business plans to create a sustainable New gTLD
Registry. <i>These "non-financial resources" are ones ICANN has
promised to provide, but as shared at our NCUC Issues Forum in
Istanbul, ICANN Staff is still figuring out what these resources
will be. Since these resources are key to successful New gTLD
applications by ASP grantees, we'll have to continue our work
and advocacy! <br>
</i></p>
<p>In 2025, we'll wrap up the last details and publish the <b>2025
New gTLD Applicant Guidebook </b>- the "rule book" to apply for
New gTLDs with the sections of a new gTLD application, ICANN's
Evaluation Project for Applications, and how ICANN will handle
"conflicts" of new gTLDs and/or existing gTLDs (e.g., identical
matches, confusing similarity, etc). NCSG was very involved in
many of the policy discussions and compromises!</p>
<p>As we enter 2025, we'll need to make sure that the final policies
are written down -- "implemented" -- in ways that match the spirit
and intent of the policies. It's an exercise of involvement and
diligence - <i>and watching to see that the final, detailed rules
match our agreed-upon policies. That's not easy! <br>
</i></p>
<p>Finally, in late 2025, ICANN's call for New gTLD Applications
will finally come out (applications projected to be due Q2 2026).
By then, we'll need to be ready to monitor the New gTLD
applications and quickly comment on applications of concern! <br>
</p>
<p>My thoughts for our next year - and the need for great people in
NCSG, NPOC and NCUC to do important work across ICANN! <br>
</p>
<p>Best, Kathy<br>

<div>Thanks for the email.</div>
<div>The main goal is to go from being reactive to being more
strategical and planning ahead. In terms of policy topics,
we can see what is coming based on the GNSO ADR but there
are also non policy topics like holistic review or
activities and open consultation initiated by ICANN org and
board. There are other places where we can identify the
topics such as ICANN strategic and operating plans for
FY25-30, public comments schedule and any communications
from ICANN org. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We need as a group to identify what are the top priority
topics for us, to have members who can lead it, track it,
inform us and be able to intervene when needed. Knowing what
are our priority topic means we can focus more effectively,
know where to spend our efforts effectively and more
importantly what is aligned with our goals and principles.</div>
<div>It will also help to plan ahead such as having related
webinars, initiating discussion threads, setting meeting
agenda with those topics etc. It will be a big change for
us on how to operate and we need everyone's support and
involvement on the matter. It will also give more visibility
and help members to follow discussion more easily and will
give more structure.</div>

<div>Hi members,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For the upcoming policy year, we would like to
have some level of planning and strategy on
potential topics of interest to NCSG, with the hope
that this would lead to NCSG being more proactive in
policy discussions than we are today. I acknowledge
that we are fuelled by volunteer sweat and blood, so
time resources are very limited. It is therefore not
possible to work on every topic. <br>
</div>
<div>As a result, I would like to ask members to
nominate topics they see us prioritising for the
coming year. Based on the input received, the PC
will prioritise and plan on each topic accordingly.</div>
