*Subject: *New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG Initial Report - Public
Comment

Dear Farzaneh,

We write to you as the Co-Chairs of the GNSO’s New gTLD Subsequent
Procedures Working Group (WG), which is tasked with calling upon the
community’s collective experiences from the 2012 New gTLD Program round to
consider potential changes that may be needed to the existing 2007
Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains policy recommendations and
implementation. We are pleased to share that the Working Group has reached
an important milestone by publishing its Initial Report for Public Comment

We would like to strongly encourage you to review this report and provide
feedback through public comment on the draft preliminary recommendations,
options, and questions for community feedback. Your input is essential to
the success of this PDP.

*1.    Background on the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG*

The GNSO’s New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Working Group (WG), which was
chartered by the GNSO Council to conduct a Policy Development Process
(PDP), is seeking to determine what, if any, changes may need to be made to
the existing *Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains*

policy
recommendations from 8 August 2007 as well as the final Applicant Guidebook

dated June 2012. As the original policy recommendations as adopted by the
GNSO Council and ICANN Board have “been designed to produce systemized and
ongoing mechanisms for applicants to propose new top-level domains,” those
policy recommendations remain in place for subsequent rounds of the New
gTLD Program unless the GNSO Council would decide to modify those policy
recommendations via a policy development process. The PDP WG created 5 Work
Tracks that are responsible for considering the subjects within its
charter. The PDP WG sought community input through two community comment
periods. The Working Group has produced its Initial Report, which includes
material from the full Working Group and Work Tracks 1-4. Work Track 5,
focused on Geographic Names at the Top-Level, was established later than
the other Work Tracks and will produce a separate Initial Report.

*2.    Information about the Initial Report and the Public Comment*

The objective of this Initial Report is to document the Working Group’s
deliberations on charter issues and preliminary recommendations, potential
options for recommendations, as well as specific questions for which the
Working Group is seeking input. Given the large number of issues, and the
thousands of hours spent on addressing the 2012 New gTLD Program and
improvements that can be made to the program moving forward, unlike other
Initial Reports, this one does not contain a “Statement of level of
consensus for the recommendations presented in the Initial Report.” The
Co-Chairs not only believed that it was premature to measure the level of
consensus of the Working Group members of dozens of recommendations
contained within the Initial Report, but that doing so could have the
unintended consequence of locking Working Group members into positions of
support or opposition prior to soliciting public comment from the community
on those recommendations. To form such definitive positions at this early
of a stage could have the adverse effect of being less open to
modifications to those positions as a result of community input.

In addition, though many of the preliminary recommendations were generally
agreed to by members that participated in the different Work Tracks,
support has not been assessed amongst the members of the overall Working
Group. The Overall Working Group has not sought to form definitive
positions on each of these issues at this stage. Therefore, any language in
this report that suggests that the Working Group or any of its Work Tracks
is making a recommendation should be read as merely a rough assessment by
the Working Group Co-Chairs or Work Track leads.

After a comprehensive review of public comments received on this report,
the Working Group will deliberate further on the preliminary
recommendations contained within the Initial Report. It is possible that as
a result of the deliberations, there may be supplemental reports released
by the Working Group seeking additional public comments. Once all of that
is completed, the Co-Chairs will conduct any formal consensus call(s) at
the plenary level, on all recommendations before the Working Group issues
its Final Report.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. We look forward to any
comments and any input that you and the organization you Chair are able to
provide to our WG. While we of course welcome input on any area of the
report, we would like to stress that given the extensive number of topics
and preliminary outcomes, you should not feel compelled to respond to every
single preliminary recommendation, option, and question. If possible,
please submit your comments and input to us by 5 September 2018 so that we
may fully consider it in our further deliberations.

Cheryl Langdon-Orr and Jeff Neuman (WG Co-Chairs)
