<div dir="ltr">Hi Edmon,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for the proposal and for volunteering me about social/development perspective :)</div><div>acknowledging that this proposal is still under discussion , I would like to recommand Mary Wong as speaker since she is currently GNSO councillor and she was involved in the different processes related to trademark issues in the new gTLD program for domain name (member of IRT,STI) and can balance between a commercial and non-commercial perspective in trademark issues.</div>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
As discussed in our meeting last week, please find below my suggestion for the New gTLD session:<br>
<br>
Introduction of Many New gTLDs bring multi-faceted impact to the Internet and DNS ecosystem:<br>
1. Commercial / Economical Impact of New gTLDs: IPR Community, Domain Investment, Search Engines & other Internet Services<br>
2. Social / Developmental Impacts of New gTLDs: Community & IDN gTLDs, and beneficiary communities<br>
3. Impact on Internet Governance at ICANN: the US$350+ Million Fund & Governance Challenges at ICANN<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
