"Doctor, doctor give me the news"

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi Seun,

It’s also being addressed quite thoroughly in the GNSO Policy and Implementation Working Group. You’ve got an interest in processes, right? Check out the WG’s initial report and recommendations. The WG is reviewing public comments submitted in response to this right now.

Thanks.

Amr

So the actual resolution by the ICANN board (or actually, the NGPC on behalf of the board) on .doctor can be found here:

From what I can tell there was a discussion on the topic of “Category 1 Safeguards for Highly Regulated Strings” on the February 5th meeting of the New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC) of the ICANN Board. It looks like there was no resolution taken during that meeting (https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-new-gtld-2015-02-05-en).
