Summary:
The GNSO IDN Working Group (IDN-WG) was chartered by the GNSO Council to address policy issues that may arise from the impending introduction of Internationalized Domain Names at the top level (IDN TLDs). Specifically, the IDN-WG was chartered to provide a report to the ICANN GNSO Council with a view to assessing further steps to take, including the possible need for the creation of a Policy Development Process (PDP), on IDN issues for the top-level.
