===A Plan of Action regarding New gTLDs===
On October 18, 2002, Lynn submitted a Plan of Action regarding New gTLDs and recommended the following:<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/committees/ntepptf/new-gtld-action-plan-18oct02.htm A Plan of Action regarding New gTLDs by Stuart Lynn, ICANN President]</ref>
* Instruct the ICANN Staff to solicit three or more proposals for sponsored TLDs ([[sTLD]]s]] as extension of the '''Proof of Concept,''' following a similar or streamlined criteria and ground rules, subject to funding a rapid study based on sampling techniques as appropriate. The study will assess if the new sponsored TLDs admitted registrants outside their charter and determine its extent.
* The issue of name space taxonomy should be addressed as a prerequisite to substantive expansion of the top level domain space regardless of an interim action on additional sponsored TLDs.
* Those applicants who submitted their proposals for new sponsored TLDs in 2000 should be invited to update and resubmit their proposals and new sponsored TLD proposals will also be accepted.
* Cost Allocation for the application fee should be assessed to exercise fairness and there should be a differential fee for those who have already paid the $50 000 application fee in year 2000 who have already been subjected to evaluation.
* The independent and financial evaluation process should be simplified particularly the review of financial capacity to accelerate the process and reduce cost.
* Use the existing contractual framework for the new sponsored TLDs.
