Fast Track Receives over 50 Responses
1 November 2008
Following the recommendation from the IDNC WG Final report, ICANN sent letters
to all countries and territories requesting information about their interest in
participating in the Fast Track process. A sample letter is available at
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-02oct08-en.htm
The request for information included a brief questionnaire intended to
ascertain interest in the Fast Track Process.
While ICANN is still receiving responses, the following data is being made
available to help the continued discussions in the community, and to inform the
draft Implementation Plan for IDN ccTLDs, and make it available for use for the
countries and territories.
Total number of letters to national governments: 252
Total number of letters to ccTLD operators: 252
Total number of received responses: 58
Number of received responses stating an interested in obtaining an IDN ccTLD
during the fast-track process: 32
A total of 30 respondents specified one or more IDN ccTLD labels and 10
respondents at this stage did not yet specify the IDN ccTLD label(s). Some of
the respondents that specified the IDN ccTLD label(s) also specified that they
had no interest in participating in the Fast Track process. A reason for not
participating may be that these respondents are not eligible to participate in
the fast track process because the IDN ccTLD they are interested in is based on
characters from the Latin script.
A total of 14 languages are anticipated to be represented initially through the
IDN ccTLD fast Track process.
The responses estimate the earliest availability for launching an IDN ccTLD
within 3 months and the latest being available per the end of 2010.
ICANN will provide updates to the statistics listed above as additional
responses are being received. The data above is based on responses received per
1 November 2008.
