There seems to be a suggestion to create a working party (I guess similar to that dealing with the GNSO review) to do the work on this, while freezing the new gTLD strings until this issue is resolved. I think it would be great if we could finalise our position on how we believe this should move forward before the Singapore meeting.

	I volunteer for this work party. 

> 2. On the other hand, there is the definition of ?public interest? in the ICANN context, it?s relevance to the ICANN by-laws and the ongoing work of the accountability-CCWG, and how human rights fits into it. The discussion with Fadi in DC seemed promising to me on this, and certainly warrants some kind of follow up. I suggest that we also try to get on top of this prior to the Singapore meeting, and perhaps bring it up during the NCSG meeting with the ICANN board. If we have some solid suggestions by then, then perhaps we can propose to the board how to move forward with this. Anyone care to volunteer for this one?

	I'm happy to volunteer for this as well. I thought the discussion at the NCPH meeting in Washington gave a really good start to this discussion. 
	
	Cheers
