      UDRP Review and Charter for the upcoming policy development
      process will take place in 2025 -- the first time in 25 years that
      the ICANN Community will review this very first "consensus policy"
      for domain names disputes that impacts every domain name
      registrant.</p>
    <p>It will be a busy year - and good to start planning now.</p>
    <p>Happy Holidays Everyone! <br>

                                    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! </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!
                                    </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!
                                  </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!
