New gTLDs

As the date for new gTLD applications approaches there has been a lot of public comment in the media about the process and ideas. ICANN has developed a very detailed process for handling the applications, with considerable thought given to a balanced and fair approach. And the office of the Ombudsman is here in case anyone takes issue with any delay or fairness issues. I remind the community that I am available if anyone wants me to examone any issue relating to my jurisdiction.

Decisions, actions, or inactions by one or more members of ICANN staff; Decisions, actions, or inactions by the Board of Directors that may be inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws. Decisions, actions, or inactions by constituent bodies.
