[council] Status/report from ACSO meeting




Hi,

Just got out of a ACSO meeting where the topic of the meeting for Seoul was discussed.

The GAC has suggested that the Seoul ACSO meeting focus on a topic from their letter to the Board Chair of 18 Aug 09. http://www.icann.org/correspondence/karklins-to-dengate-thrush-18aug09-en.pdf

Specially based on the following sentence:

"The GAC remains concerned that the threshold question has not been answered whether the introduction of new gTLDs provides potential benefits to consumers that will not be outweighed by the potential harms."

So the topic would be:

Whether the introduction of new gTLDs provides potential benefits to consumers that will not be outweighed by the potential harms

We have all been asked to get feedback from the various SOs and ACs before next week.

I have also reported this under the status section of the Agenda for this week.
