Dear All,<div><br></div><div>Please see the below report from the Cross-Community Working Group on Recommendation #6 dealing with objections to new gtlds based on "morality and public order". </div><div><br></div><div>Should the board accept the recommendations of the group, it would help to remove a number of concerns we had with MAPO since it went through the GNSO (like free expression). While I personally do not think ICANN has any role to play regarding 'morality & public order", and I don't agree with every recommendation in this report, it is a significant movement in the right direction of curtailing the abuse of MAPO-type objections to new tlds. So it is an improvement to what is currently in DAG4 on MAPO.</div><div><br></div><div>NCSG should prepare and file comments on this report to the board. I think we have 30 days from today to get those comments in. If we've got any volunteers to work on group comments, please speak up!!! Thank you!</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Robin</div><div><br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>From: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">"Gomes, Chuck" <<a href="mailto:cgomes@verisign.com">cgomes@verisign.com</a>></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Date: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">September 21, 2010 3:58:32 PM PDT</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>To: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><<a href="mailto:soac-mapo@icann.org">soac-mapo@icann.org</a>></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Subject: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><b>[soac-mapo] Fw: Report on Implementation of GNSO New GTLD Recommendation #6</b></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div> <font style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> FYI<br><br>Chuck<br></font><br> <br> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"> <font style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> <b>From</b>: David Olive [<a href="mailto:david.olive@icann.org">mailto:david.olive@icann.org</a>] <br><b>Sent</b>: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 06:29 PM<br><b>To</b>: Secretary <<a href="mailto:secretary@icann.org">secretary@icann.org</a>> <br><b>Cc</b>: Gomes, Chuck; Cheryl Langdon-Orr <<a href="mailto:langdonorr@gmail.com">langdonorr@gmail.com</a>>; <a href="mailto:Heather.Dryden@ic.gc.ca">Heather.Dryden@ic.gc.ca</a> <<a href="mailto:Heather.Dryden@ic.gc.ca">Heather.Dryden@ic.gc.ca</a>>; <a href="mailto:Frank.March@med.govt.nz">Frank.March@med.govt.nz</a> <<a href="mailto:Frank.March@med.govt.nz">Frank.March@med.govt.nz</a>>; Kurt Pritz <<a href="mailto:kurt@icann.org">kurt@icann.org</a>> <br><b>Subject</b>: Report on Implementation of GNSO New GTLD Recommendation #6 <br></font> <br></div> <font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:12pt">Dear ICANN Secretary:<br> <br> This Board Communication is sent at the request of Chuck Gomes, Cheryl Langdon-Orr and Heather Dryden, on behalf of the Recommendation 6 Community Working Group (Rec 6 CWG).<br> <br> This Report published on 21 September 2010 from the New gTLD Recommendation #6 Cross-Community Working Group (“Rec6 CWG”) addresses implementation of the GNSO Council’s New gTLD Recommendation # 6 (Rec6). This Report describes recommendations for improving the proposed implementation plan for Rec6 as described in the Draft Applicant Guidebook-v4.<br> <br> There is consensus among the members of the Rec6 CWG that the proposed implementation model for Rec6 is flawed in certain respects and can be improved. The Rec6 CWG believes that the recommendations described in this Report, as summarized in Section 3 of this Report, and described in detail in Annex 3, would improve the implementation of Rec6.<br> <br> We kindly request that this Report be included in the materials for the Board’s consideration at the retreat. <br> <br> Thank you for your consideration of this request.<br> <br> Regards, <br> <br> <br> <br> </span><span style="font-size:11pt">David A.
