Consensus met

Communication
Implementation of these Public Policy Principles
3.1 The GAC recalls Article XI, section 2, no. 1 h) of the ICANN Bylaws, which state that the ICANN Board shall notify the Chair of the Governmental Advisory Committee in a timely manner of any proposal raising public policy issues. Insofar, therefore, as these principles provide guidance on GAC views on the implementation of new gTLDs, they are not intended to substitute for the normal requirement for the ICANN Board to notify the GAC of any proposals for new gTLDs which raise public policy issues.
3.2 ICANN Should consult the GAC, as appropriate, regarding any questions pertaining to the interpretation of these principles.
3.3 If individual GAC members or other governments express formal concerns about any issues related to new gTLDs, the ICANN Board should fully consider those concerns and clearly explain how it will address them.
3.4 The evaluation procedures and criteria for introduction, delegation, and operation of new TLDs should be developed and implemented with the participation of all stakeholders.
