Session DetailsDuring its meeting on 25 August 2022, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council approved the GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) Initiation Request to perform work on Applicant Support. The GNSO Guidance Process (GGP) Working Group has subsequently been formed and began its work in November 2022. The Working Group has developed a work plan and timeline, which has been confirmed by the GNSO Council.
Background: The New gTLD Subsequent Procedures (SubPro) Final Report envisioned some levels of substantive work taking place during the Implementation Review Team (IRT) phase of the work, after ICANN Board adoption of the recommendations. For instance, in Topic 17: Applicant Support, Implementation Guidance 17.5, the report suggests the creation of a dedicated IRT and it be charged “with developing implementation elements of the Applicant Support Program. This dedicated IRT was to be charged with making substantive decisions on outreach activities and allocation of scarce resources (e.g., when there are more qualified applicants than available funds), among other activities. The Council has determined that the provision of this IRT guidance is best accomplished via the GGP.
