Topics and discussions focused on the continued rollout of the [[New gTLD Program]], as a small batch of applications had reached delegation and many more were facing [[RA]] contracting and possible auctions. Within the program itself, the issue of [[Name Collision]]s was debated, as well as what [[ICANN]] should do with the funds received from eventual "last resort" auctions in the New gTLD Program.
