ICANN has posted that the Government Advisory Council (GAC) Expects to Deliver Advice on New gTLDs in Beijing
“”With the GAC Member Early Warnings phase complete, the GAC is now moving to the next phase, which is GAC advice on new gTLDs. ”
“GAC advice is a key element of the overall process of the new gTLD Program. ”
“In that context, GAC sessions at ICANN‘s public meeting in Beijing in April will be mainly focused on delivering GAC advice to the ICANN Board on categories of strings and specific applications, building on advice outlined in the Toronto Communiqué. ”
“The GAC is fully committed to the multistakeholder approach to policy development and advising on the public policy aspects of the New gTLD Program, for the benefit of all Internet users.
“The GAC‘s key role is to provide advice to ICANN on issues of public policy, and especially where there may be an interaction between ICANN‘s activities or policies and national laws or international agreements. “…
