Meeting on WT5 at ICANN 60

[Tatiana Tropina]

Dear all,
I recently forwarded the call for volunteers for WT5 (Geonames at top
level). Thanks to all who joined and all who considers joining. Further to
this communication, please find below (forwarded from GNSO Council list)
information about the WT5 session in Abu Dhabi. Anyone who has volunteered
or still undecided or anyone who is interested in the topic will find this
session useful.
Your opinions and input would be invaluable!

Warm regards,
Tanya

Dear James, Heather & Donna,

*Call for volunteers from GNSO for Work Track 5 (Geographic Names at the
Top-Level)*

A call for volunteers to participate in Work Track 5 (WT5) of the GNSO
Subsequent Procedures PDP WG was published by ICANN (
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-10-22-en). Along with
representatives from ALAC, ccNSO and the GAC, I am pleased to be appointed
as a co-leader from the GNSO for this group, which will focus on the
treatment of geographic names at the top-level.

Due to the levels of interest on this topic and divergent views expressed
across the ICANN community, we expect to see wide representation from ALAC,
ccNSO and the GAC. There are divergent views also within the GNSO and it
is, therefore, important to encourage participation from each of the GNSO
stakeholder and constituency groups in order to ensure their views are
heard and considered throughout the progress of WT5.

A meeting dedicated to Work Track 5 is scheduled for Wednesday 1 November,
8:30-12:00, in Abu Dhabi (
https://schedule.icann.org/event/CbGp/gnso-new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-pdp-wg-face-to-face-session-ii),
which will provide an opportunity for the community to provide input to the
Terms of Reference and the overall approach for this work track.
Participation from GNSO stakeholder and constituency groups, whether
in-person or via remote, would be invaluable.

I would be grateful if you could bring this to the attention of the GNSO
Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to ensure the call for volunteers is
cascaded to their respective groups to maximise sign-up and participation.

Kind regards,

Martin Sutton
Co-Leader, WT5
