Public Comment is a vital part of our multistakeholder model. It provides a mechanism for stakeholders to have their opinions and recommendations formally and publicly documented. In order to facilitate future planning, ICANN org provides high-level descriptions of upcoming Public Comment proceedings before further consideration and potential adoption. Topics may include implementation work, reviews, and operational activities of ICANN org.

This Public Comment proceeding sought community input prior to ICANN Board action on the final Affirmations, Recommendations, and Implementation Guidance (collectively referred to as "Outputs") that were determined to have received either Full Consensus or Consensus designations by the New Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group. The Outputs that the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council elected to vote on were approved by a supermajority margin.
