Dear all,
 
Please find attached the background paper on initiatives on IDN prepared by
staff. 
 
This document is a compilation of existing work on Internationalized Domain
Names (IDNs). It responds to the GNSO Council resolution on 22 September
2005 that "request(ed) staff to provide a background document listing all
past Board decisions regarding the implementation of IDNs, and the status of
the IDN guidelines" . and "establish clearly roles of:

*       President's Advisory Committee on IDN
*       IDN registry review group (gtld and cctld reps) to develop
Guidelines for the Implementation of the IETF IDN standards
*       GAC work on IDNs
*       GNSO/ccNSO policy development initiative." 

All the best, Maria
