Item 3: IDNs
- Cary Karp to provide update on discussions at the IETF

Proposed motion:
The GNSO requests the ICANN staff to establish a working group to revise
the IDN Guidelines (version 1.0, 20 June 2003)
http://www.icann.org/general/idn-guidelines-20jun03.htm .  The working
group should comprise representatives from gtld registries, cctld
registries, application developers (e.g WWW browsers, email clients),
and other interested members of the ICANN community.

Item 4: Support for new gtlds in Internet applications

Proposed motion:
The GNSO requests that the ICANN staff create an information area on the
ICANN website for developers of software applications that directly use
domain names and IP addresses (e.g DNS resolvers etc).   This area would
contain contributions from the ICANN community on how best to support
new TLDs, and IDNs in applications.    Press releases for new TLDs
should contain a direct link to this information area.


Item 5: Review compliance of registrars with current WHOIS accuracy
requirements

Proposed Motion: 
The GNSO agrees to create a working group, with a representative group
of volunteers from the GNSO, to work with the ICANN staff to review the
effectiveness and compliance of the current contractual requirements
with respect to WHOIS accuracy.  The group will take as input (1) the
WDPRS report released on March 31st 2004, (2) the WDRP report released
on November 20th 2004, and (3) the impact of ICANN's compliance plan.
The working group will be chaired by Niklas Lagergren.
