RE: [ga] FW: UPDATE: ICANN-Yokohama Remote Participation Details

["Roberto Gaetano" <roberto.gaetano@voila.fr>]

Simon,

We have an agenda item covering the wide asubject of the introduction of
 new TLDs.

If you allow me to drop my GA-Chair hat, and give you my personal 
opinions:
- ICANN will take into account the existence of an "old" proposal to 
IANA as one of the criteria of choice, and not the most important 
(otherwise it would have been mentioned in the document to be commented 
on);
- I would suggest to mention the existence of prior application to IANA 
for a specific TLD when submitting the Expression of Interest (according
 to the procedure).

Time has changed, and to act as if we were still in the past with the 
IANA/Postel situation, pre-White Paper, pre-international debate, pre-
creation of ICANN, will have as only effect to limit the time to debate 
other aspects of the issue where we may have a chance to influence 
ICANN. In other words, a loss of time and opportunities.

But, wearing again my GA-Chair hat, you are welcome to discuss the old 
and the new applications under the broad agenda item "new GTLDs".

Regards
Roberto
