<p>The problem here is that Jeff and SubPro are trying to change the
underlying assumptions that ICANN Org is using to build its
systems (to process New gTLDs). Our problem is not with ICANN Org
(from what I can see), but with Jeff who as chair of SubPro WG
(who represents certain very aggressive registries) wants to lift
the current cap of 1000 new gTLDs a year, force ICANN Org to
accept unlimited changes to the New <i>gTLD </i>applications,
etc. <br>
</p>
<p>These changes to the rules of new gTLD applications will wreak
havoc in the system. In this case, from what I can see, ICANN Org,
NCSG and the larger Community have the same interest -- we are
collectively part of the group which <i>reviews new gtld </i><i>applications.
</i>We will be reading them, filing comments and concerns, raising
objections, and exercising other oversight -- all time consuming
and sometimes expensive processes. We need time to do our jobs
properly, and not a ridiculous number of applications. ICANN Org
is saying similar things. These themes was central to the NCSG
comments prepared by Bruna and Elsa and submitted to SubPro WG
months ago. <br>
</p>
<p>Our concerns, I think, are not with ICANN Org (and I went to
their meeting with both SubPro and the GAC), but with Jeff and the
registries who want to change many of the rules. If he can force
rule changes through SubPro WG, ICANN Org will have to follow.
Meetings of SubPro WG this Monday and Thursday, including raising
the limits of applications to (potentially) thousands a year (when
ICANN Org is preparing for up to 1000 per year) and "global public
interest" (voluntary commitments including censorship).</p>
<p>Best, Kathy<br>

<div>there was communication from Cyrus Nemazi to all
SO/AC/SG/C regarding the assumptions (<a

<div>the letter is asking for engagement with NCSG. For
those who attended the GNSO Council wrap-up session
last week, there was discussion on how the council
should deal with this request and leaving it to SG/C
instead.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am asking here if we need a meeting with Cyrus and
his team after reviewing the implementation assumptions.</div>
