GAC Letter to ICANN Board regarding Early Warning and GAC Advice
Communication
In terms of the GAC’s role in assessing applications, I can inform the Board that the GAC has identified several benefits from having a single Early Warning period in relation to all applications (these relate to efficiency, consistency, and timeliness). On this basis, the GAC advises the Board that it is planning to issue any Early Warnings shortly after the Toronto ICANN meeting, in October 2012.
In relation to GAC advice on any contentious new gTLD applications, the GAC is still considering its options, and is awaiting further discussion with the Board before making a decision. Given the delays to the gTLD application process, the timing of upcoming ICANN meetings, and the amount of work involved, the GAC advises the Board that it will not be in a position to offer any advice on new gTLD applications in 2012. For this reason, the GAC is considering the implications of providing any GAC advice on gTLD applications. These considerations are not expected to be finalised before the Asia-Pacific meeting in April 2013.
