RE: [council] Motion regarding New gTLDs
The communications period recommendation was an Implementation
Guideline, not one of the 19 recommendations. What did the Board
approve, the whole package or just the recommendations? Regardless, the
Board will have to ultimately approve the final implementation plan; I
believe that is estimated for May.
One of the biggest issues of concern from a GNSO perspective is the
possible gap between the introduction of fast track IDN ccTLDs and IDN
gTLDs, especially with regard to scripts that are used for fast track
IDN ccTLDs. There are several things that might help reduce that gap:
1) continue to advocate that the two processes (g's and fast track cc's)
happen at the same time; 2) reduce gTLD delays as suggested by my motion
or something similar; 3) allow for a fast track for IDN gTLDs for
scripts that correspond to fast track IDN ccTLDs.
