Raiche and I hope that you will all attend and participate in the<br>
discussions, which will focus on end user protection related to new gTLDs<br>
and community readiness for IDN Variant TLDs.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<br>
<br>

ICANN’s new generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) Program will bring a dramatic<br>
expansion of the Top Level Domain Space where 1930 new gTLD applications<br>
have been received. 303 (15.7%) of the new gTLD applications are from the<br>
Asia Pacific region and 100 (86%) of the new gTLD applications for<br>
Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) are for the languages of the Asia<br>
Pacific region. The APRALO Multistakeholder Policy Roundtable in Beijing<br>
will feature discussions on two thematic areas related to the new gTLDs<br>
with an emphasis on issues of concern to the end user and the public<br>
interest.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
[17:00-18:00] Policy Roundtable I - End User Protection with New gTLDs<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
*Policy Roundtable I **[17:00-18:00]***<br>
<br>
Theme: New gTLDs and Implications for the Asian-Australasian-Pacific Region<br>
<br>
Topic: End User Protection with New gTLDs<br>
<br>
Discussion Questions:<br>
<br>
1. How can end users be best protected in the event that new gTLDs fail<br>
or are unsustainable?<br>
<br>
2. What are the issues associated with turning applicant commitments<br>
into contractual obligations?<br>
<br>
3. What are the issues related to the enforceability of contractual<br>
obligations and what recommendations should be made regarding the scaling<br>
up of ICANN compliance?<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
Topic: Community Readiness for IDN Variant Top Level Domains (TLDs)<br>
<br>
Discussion Questions:<br>
<br>
1. Will the introduction of IDN Variant TLDs de-stabilize the Internet<br>
and undermine its security?<br>
<br>
2. What is the level of readiness among language communities already<br>
active in ICANN in forming “Generation Panels” to propose script character<br>
repertoires and variant rules for the Root Zone that will enable variant<br>
IDN TLDs? What are the key issues in moving forward?<br>
<br>
3. How can the readiness of language communities not yet active in<br>
ICANN be supported?<br>
<br>
