Session Details
This plenary session would convene the community to assess the feasibility and implications of leveraging a platform through which new gTLDs supported by the Applicant Support Program (ASP) could transition toward operating their own back-end registry services.Building on GAC advice from ICANN79 and ICANN80 and subsequent exchanges with the ICANN Board, the session would provide a structured opportunity for cross-community dialogue involving the GAC, GNSO, ALAC, ICANN org, and other relevant stakeholders.The discussion would aim to clarify the scope and objectives of the proposed platform concept; examine operational, financial, and governance considerations; explore interactions with existing Registry Service Providers (RSPs) and the RSP framework; and consider ICANN’s potential role, consistent with its mission and remit.The session would be exploratory in nature, focused on developing a shared understanding of feasibility, policy implications, and potential next steps.
