Chuck [mailto:cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Edmon, We are just a little
over a week before our 8 Jan Council meeting and I don't think we have seen
anything from you regarding a possible GNSO statement regarding the IDN ccTLD
Fast Track Implementation Plan. We really need that as soon as possible so
that we can discuss on list prior to the meeting and act on it in the
meeting. Also, the comment period ends on 9
Jan. Chuck |

Hi Everyone,
Apologies for the delay on this matter, please find attached the draft for the council comments on the Draft IDN ccTLD Fast Track implementation plan.
The document is mainly separated into 2 parts:
(A) response on Module 7, where 5 open questions were raised
(B) reemphasizing some of the issues raised previously
For (A) the 5 open questions listed in Module 7 were:
1. Ensuring ongoing compliance with the IDN technical standards, including the IDNA protocol and the IDN Guidelines.
2. Possible establishment of financial contributions.
3. IDN ccTLD operator association to the ICANN community.
4. Compliance with consensus policies
5. Prevention of contention issues with existing TLDs and those under application in the gTLD process.The draft mainly extracted statements from previous documents to respond to the topics, but have also emphasized that we may require much broader input from the community on the issues because they are largely new considerations not specifically discussed previously. In particular, 3 & 4, and some respects 2 & 5.
For (B) 3 items were specifically reemphasized:
1. Lack of structure for implementation in the situation where a proposed Fast Track IDN ccTLD string is not listed in the UNGEGN manual (i.e. not in a particular authoritative list)2. Lack of clarity in the process for linguistic process check and confirmation of a requested string
3. Lack of consideration for avoiding confusingly similar strings
Comments/thoughts welcome.
Since, the deadline for comments to the draft implementation plan is Jan 9, in view of time, perhaps we can have a discussion on the council list and on our meeting on Jan 8 to finalize our response.
Edmon
PS. Happy New Year! :-)
