What is the GNSO?
(for new gTLDs)?
This group, along with our liaisons to & from the ALAC, GAC and ccNSO, and all of the new and returning Councilors, is ideally situated to undertake the work ahead. And there's no shortage of work in the coming year, as the Council is expected to address issues including the next Round new gTLDs - New gTLDs are still being delegated, but it's time to prepare for the next round. What worked well in the past round, and what didn't? And how should the community disposition auction funds?
