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! :-)
