ICANN/DNSO 

Call for comments on WG-B formal report 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

19 April 2000

In July 1999 the DNSO Names Council set up: 

*	Working Group B -- Famous Trade-Marks 
*	Working Group C -- New gTLDs 

For the last nine months these two working groups have been discussing 
various aspects of their assigned topics. 

In Cairo the ICANN Board has requested the Names Council to provide its 
recommendations on these topics by 20 April 2000. 

On 19 April 2000, the Names Council held a teleconference to discuss the 
issue of new generic top level domains (gTLDs) and to make a recommendation 
to the ICANN Board of Directors. The Names Council published a Statement on 
new gTLDs http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20000419.NCgtlds-statement.html 
and noted that it had recently received additional principles for the 
introduction of new gTLDs and would be providing supplemental 
recommendations to the Board in the near future. 


Working Group B - Famous Trade-Marks.

On 21 March 2000, WG-B submitted its Status report to the Names Council.
