today<br></font><br>Dear All,<div><br></div><div>I must say that the atmosphere was electric as the Board gave their views of abstention and non-votes as well as those that supported the Resolution. Whilst, there were some mixed feelings and reactions, the general conclusion seems to be that it was inevitable. In a few minutes, we are about to have a session on the New gTLD programme and of course the transcripts are in real time and so are the remote sessions.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">The board overwhelmingly approved the new gTLD program a few minutes ago. So the GAC's advice was indeed advice rather than a binding command, and multistakeholderism gets a bit of an affirmation.<br>
<br>
It should be noted that the GAC arguments against the launch yesterday were largely incoherent and palpably unconvincing, with some bits of rather abrasive "do what we tell you" (particularly from the E Commission) added in for good measure. Didn't help their case. Might also add that civil society reps here, the NCUC, adopted several statements in support of the board's positions.<br>
