[governance] It's Time to Stop ICANN's Top-Level Domain (TLD)

[Avri Doria]

Note: All the WG has done is make recommendations.

It will be up the GNSO and the ALAC to accept them or not and to pass them on the Board.
And in the process of making the decisions they will be a period of community comment.
And hopefully the community comment will support at least some of the recommendations, and that will have something to do with the degree to which they are accepted.

Should have been and it is something those of involved in ICANN should remember - make sure we post the creation of WGs to the IGC and other non ICANN lists.  By and large the open calls are left to ICANN Staff, but they don't necessarily have the outreach we do.  I will try to remember from this point on.  All GNSO WGs are open as are most of the joint WGs.
