[Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

The ccNSO is now seeking for volunteers to our Study Group on the Use of Names 
for Countries and Territories. A link to the announcement is here: 
http://www.ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-31jan11-en.htm

The study group is expected to:

1.Provide an overview of current and proposed policies, guidelines and 
procedures for allocation and delegation of strings currently used or proposed 
to be used as TLDs that are either associated with Countries and Territories 
(i.e., by inclusion on the ISO 3166-1 list) and/or are otherwise considered 
representations of the names of Countries and Territories.

2.A comprehensive overview of the types and categories of strings currently 
used or proposed to be used as TLDs that are either associated with Countries 
and Territories (i.e., by inclusion on the ISO 3166-1 list) and/or are 
otherwise considered representations of Country and Territory names.

3.A comprehensive overview of issues arising (or likely to arise) in connection 
with applying the current and proposed policies, guidelines and procedures for 
allocation to types and categories of strings currently used or proposed to be 
used as TLDs that are either associated with Countries and Territories (i.e., 
by inclusion on the ISO 3166-1 list) and/or are otherwise considered 
representations of Country and Territory names.

If considered appropriate by the study group, the study group will advise on a 
course of further actions, if any, to resolve issues identified under 3.
