[NCSG-GEONAMES] Geographic Names Ad-Hoc Group

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Hi everyone,

Given the amount of discussions regarding geographic names that took place
in the Johannesburg meeting, the NCSG has decided to start a little Ad-hoc
groups to discuss the work performed by the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures
PDP Working Group on the theme, of which some of us are members!

After the cross-community discussions that happened during ICANN59, the
co-chairs of the PDP WG are in the process of developing a fifth Work Track
in the PDP dedicated exclusively to the discussions around the use of
Geographic Domain Names at the top-level. The new work track will adopt a
shared leadership model with balanced representation from the GAC, ALAC,
ccNSO, and GNSO.

Given the relevance of the subject, we are now kicking-off the the NCSG now
an ad-hoc group dedicated to geographic names. And, in order to provide
more information on the subject to you, here follows a list of useful
documents:

- All the information on the Geographic Names Webinars

the Top Level <https://community.icann.org/x/jVPwAw>

Looking forward to get this discussion going!
