Re: [council] Proposed agenda for call Thursday Feb 6



I am concerned that the agenda now has been expanded to deal with positions proffered by the BC .
Am I missing something here?
Was this committee specifically empowered by the Council  to exceed the charge given to it by the Board..
 
Where are we going with this?

Subject: [council] Proposed agenda for call Thursday Feb 6

Council et al,
the first telephone conference of the gTLDs committee takes place tomorrow Thursday Feb 6 at 14.00 UTC (i.e. the usual time for Council calls). Dial in is 1-702-851-3330 , code 35790.

The call should last around one hour as it is intended to be a planning and status checking plus first broad discussion on principles. The agenda is below.
1. Round table of each constituency on progress on agreeing constituency positions (deadline March 1).
2. Agreement to working schedule of the committee.
3. Discussion on broad principles for gTLDs
- should there be any new ones ever?
- if yes, should there be structure?
- if yes, what ?
- should ICANN establish criteria for gTLDs and registries and then accept applicants who meet the criteria or continue with current practice (agreeing to gTLDs in discrete lots)?
- should qualified registries be free to operate the back-end of multiple gTLDs in the future?
4. AOB
