[Rigf_secretariat] [Rigf_program] New gTLD session

[Edmon Chung]

Hi Everyone,

As discussed in our meeting last week, please find below my suggestion for the New gTLD session:

Introduction of Many New gTLDs bring multi-faceted impact to the Internet and DNS ecosystem:
1. Commercial / Economical Impact of New gTLDs: IPR Community, Domain Investment, Search Engines & other Internet Services
2. Social / Developmental Impacts of New gTLDs: Community & IDN gTLDs, and beneficiary communities
3. Impact on Internet Governance at ICANN: the US$350+ Million Fund & Governance Challenges at ICANN

The panel will discuss the impact and challenges of the introduction of many new gTLDs within a relatively short period of time to the domain industry, the governance at ICANN and implications to other parts of the Internet ecosystem.
