gTLD-MoU Related News

[Robert Shaw <robert.shaw@itu.int>]

Hi,

There has been a major revision of the gTLD-MoU web site at 
http://www.gtld-mou.org

In response to requests for improved public information, the 
gTLD-MoU interim Policy Oversight Committee is working on a 
number of improvements in this area:

* Simplification and better navigation of the gTLD-MoU web site

* Availability of a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). This
  is under development. See http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/faq.html
  Questions that parties think should appear in this FAQ should be
  sent to poc-submit@gtld-mou.org

* Availability of a Glossary of Acronyms. This is currently
  under development. See http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/acronyms.html
  Acronyms that parties think should appear in this Glossary should be
  sent to poc-submit@gtld-mou.org

* More information about gTLD-MoU related events and timelines. 
  See http://www.gtld-mou.org/index.html#events

* Availability of the gtld-announce@gtld-mou.org mailing list
  for receiving important announcements relating to the 
  gTLD-MoU. See http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/maillist.htm#announce

  This mailing list replaces the iahc-info@iahc.org mailing 
  list and prior subscribers to this list have been automatically
  added to the gtld-announce mailing list.

  The gtld-discuss@gtld-mou.org list remains available for general 
  online discussion of DNS administration activities. See
  http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/maillist.htm#discuss

* Start of a gTLD-MoU Outreach Program to assist organizations 
  to understand the gTLD-MoU program. See 
  http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/outreach.html

* Improved information concerning WIPO's role in dispute resolution
  activities related to the gTLD-MoU.

In addition, and in response to requests to improve the openness of 
the gTLD-MoU processes, the interim Policy Oversight Committee plans 
to formally solicit public comments on important gTLD-MoU related
issues.

This includes the necessarily represented constituencies and membership 
of the gTLD-MoU Policy Oversight Committee with the intent of improving 
global DNS stakeholder representation (e.g., better representation of 
the business community and users of the DNS). These Request for Comments 
Proceedings are under preparation (see http://www.gtld-mou.org/index.html#rfc)
and will be announced on both gTLD-MoU related mailing lists (see 
http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/maillist.htm).
