The attending Committee members issued the following statement:
The Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) has

usage of the Internet across the worldwide community, ICANN
activities, and top level domains:
- With regard to the addition of new generic
top level domains (gTLDs):
The GAC is pleased to communicate its "Opinion
of the ICANN GAC on New Generic Top Level Domains" to the
ICANN Board.
- With regard to the delegation and
administration of country code top level domains:
The GAC reconfirms its support for the GAC
document "Principles for the Delegation and Administration
of Country Code Top Level Domains" (GAC ccTLD Principles
Document), and welcomes the work of its Member Governments and
Public Authorities in their implementation of the provisions of the
GAC ccTLD Principles Document within their respective
administrations. The GAC welcomes the draft letter from ICANN to
governments and public authorities.
With regard to requests currently pending for
the reassignment of administrative authority for the administration
of ccTLDs, the GAC requests that ICANN provide advice concerning the
process and associated timing issues in relation to the execution of
requests for redelegation of ccTLDs.
- With regard to the Open Session with
representatives of the Address Supporting Organisation (ASO) and
the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).:
The GAC thanks the Government of the United
States of America, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and

The next face-to-face meeting of the GAC will
be held in March 2001 in Melbourne, Australia, to coincide with
