High Interest Topic: Innovation in Top-Level Domains

Updated description forthcoming. Description from request: There are three goals for this high interest topic session: 1. Demonstrate that innovation is occurring through TLDs and garner community support that the DNS can benefit from new or existing TLDs that provide new products and choices 2. Uncover barriers to innovation so that innovation can be encouraged through new contractual provisions or procedures. This might be particularly valuable for the next round of new TLDs where encouragement of innovation might be one of the policy goals of the program 3. Garner some notoriety and support for new products and encourage cross-community discussions and education that might improve on the quality or uptake of current innovations - Session Leader: Please update with GNSO session leader name Staff Facilitator: Mary Wong
