Dear friends and colleagues, Further to my earlier email below, we have just been informed that the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group (WG) has changed its meeting schedule, and now clashes exactly with our upcoming APAC Space web conference planned for 8 September 2016. In this regard, we would like to propose shifting the APAC Space web conference to Tuesday, 27 September 2016, 03:00 (UTC) / 11:00 (SGT). This provides an opportunity for us to receive updates of the 8 Sep WG meeting, and enable us to discuss the topic even better. We apologize for the inconvenience. Let us know if there are any issues with the proposed change in date. We hope to share the details of the APAC Space web conference with the wider community by Monday, 5 September.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Thank you.

And part of that should be the IDNs - which you are better placed to comment on than I.

Perhaps for the upcoming meeting and meetings thereupon, it would be good to focus on each of the Tracks more deeply so that we can engage and get participants up to speed on each track as well as to prepare for input into the actual process. So starting from Track 1 in the upcoming meeting... Thoughts/ideas from others?
