The Australian Government has asked for comments from the Australian
public on ICANN's proposed introduction of new generic Top Level
Domains.
The Government is working to ensure that the Australian community is
aware of the new gTLD process, and to minimise any negative impacts of
new gTLDs.
Any issues raised through the consultation process are to be fed back to
ICANN through the government's participation in the ICANN process
through the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC). The call for comments
notes the GAC provides advice to ICANN, but ICANN's Board of Directors
is ultimately in charge of what the organisation does.
Any questions or comments about ICANN's proposal should be directed to
the government at:
The Director
Internet Governance, IPND and Numbering Team
Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy
GPO Box 2154
Canberra ACT 2601
Or by email to newgTLDs@DBCDE.gov.au
No date is given for the close of the consultation period.
General information on the new gTLD proposal from ICANN is available
from:
www.dbcde.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/128433/ICANN-FACTSHEET-1700.pdf
