New gTLDS

I have been reading the new guidelines for the Applications for the new generic Top Level Domains gTLDs–another acronym to be remembered in a community which has never been shy to invent these! The process has been carefully prepared so that applicants and affected parties can all have a full and open process to resolve applications and any issues. As the Ombudsman, I am ready for any members of the ICANN community who may need to contact me about the new gTLDs, as we all go through a learning process. If you consider that the process has treated you badly or there has been unfairness in any aspect of the application or in your objections, please contact me.
