===The New TLD Evaluation Process Planning Task Force (NTEPPTF) Report===
During the ICANN Stockholm Meeting in 2001, the Board directed ICANN President [[Stuart Lynn]] to form and chair a New TLD Evaluation Process Planning Task Force (NTEPPTF)to monitor and evaluate the performance and impact on new gTLDs on the DNS, wherein the evaluation should concentrate on the technical and legal perspectives. By June of 2002, the NTEPPTF submitted its report and made the following recommendations to the ICANN Board:<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/committees/ntepptf/draft-final-report-15jun02.htm#8 Draft of Final Report of the New TLD Evaluation Process Planning Task Force]</ref>
* Establish a continuous monitoring program on the new gTLDs and focus the evaluation its effect to the performance of the root zone of the internet, identify the operational performance problems affecting the stability of the DNS, accuracy and completion of the [[Whois]] data, and the start-up issues during the sunrise or landrush period.
* The ICANN Board should adopt the evaluation schedule arranged by the Task Force.
* ICANN Board should determine the time frame and how it should launch new gTLDs.
* A TLD Evaluation Advisory Committee ([[TEAC]]) should be appointed by ICANN to provide an overall coordination and guidance to the evaluation team which shall be supervised by the ICANN Staff.
* Provide adequate funds to the evaluation process.
* Identify the extent, initiate planning and solicitations for proposals of new gTLDs in conjunction with the evaluation and monitoring process.
Subsequently on August 23, 2002, The ICANN Board directed ICANN President Lynn to create an action plan regarding the report of (NTEPPTF).<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/tap/2002-08-23+-+New+TLD+Evaluation+Process+Planning+Task+Force 2002-08-23 - New TLD Evaluation Process Planning Task Force]</ref>
