Dear friends and colleagues, The next APAC Space web conference will take place on Thursday, 16 February 2017 03:00 (UTC) / 11:00 (SGT), where we propose to recap discussion on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process (PDP). The proposed agenda is appended below. Appreciate any comments and ideas for the proposed agenda. To ensure that the topics stay relevant to the needs of the community, we also propose to roll out a community survey to collect feedback from the community on the topics of interest. This will help us to determine the themes for APAC Space, and to plan the subsequent APAC Space discussion topics in 2017. Hence, we have allocated some time to introduce the community survey during the upcoming APAC Space web conference. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions regarding the community survey. If not we will proceed based on the proposed agenda, and circulate a proposed survey to this group prior to the upcoming APAC Space web conference. Thank you.

To help us plan the year ahead and better prepare for the discussion topics in advance, we would be grateful for your suggestions on any topics that you think will be of interest to the APAC community. The preference is for an ICANN policy-related topic, including areas such as Reviews, or Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) topics such as Auction Proceeds. Grateful for any views by 31 January 2017. Thereafter, we will share a full proposed calendar based on inputs.
