Whereas both the GNSO and ccNSO are anticipating implementation of processes to introduce IDN TLDs in 2009,
Resolve
1) the GNSO Council strongly believes that neither the New gTLD or
ccTLD fast track process should result in IDN TLDs in the root before
the other unless both the GNSO and ccNSO so agree, and
2) fast track IDN ccTLDs should not be entered into the root if they do
not have an enforceable commitment to do the following as gTLDs must
do:i) follow minimal security and stability requirements, IDN Guidelines and IDN standards;
ii) pay ICANN fees sufficient to ensure that IDN ccTLDs are fully self-funding and are not cross-subsidized by other ICANN activities.
