Subject: [council] Proposed Motion: JIG Final Report on Single Character IDN 
TLDs


Dear Stéphane and all,



I'd like to propose the following motion on JIG Final Report on Single 
Character IDN TLDs. This community working group is co-chaired by Edmon Chung 
(GNSO) and Jian Zhang (ccNSO). The final report is attached in this email (URL 
will be posted shortly).



I would also like to invite Edmon to join the upcoming Council call.



Thank you very much.



Ching

WHEREAS,



The Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG) was created by mutual charters of 
the ccNSO (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jiwg-charter.pdf) and the GNSO 
(http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#200907);



The JIG identified 3 issues of common interest: 1. Single Character IDN TLDs; 
2. IDN Variant TLDs; and, 3. Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs;



The JIG has issued an Initial Report 
(http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jig-initial-report-26jul10-en.pdf) for 
public comments 
(http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-27jul10-en.htm), and 
thereupon a Draft Final Report 
(http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jig-draft-final-report-04dec10-en.pdf) 
for public comments 
(http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-04dec10-en.htm), and have 
incorporated the comments into, and has reached consensus on the Final Report 
on Single Character IDN TLDs;



The JIG recommendations are consistent with the GNSO Final Report on the 
Introduction of New Top-Level Domains 
(http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm), 
including the GNSO IDN WG Final Outcomes Report 
(http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/idn-wg-fr-22mar07.htm) and the GNSO Reserved 
Names WG 
(http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/final-report-rn-wg-23may07.htm) on the 
issue of Single Character IDN gTLDs; and,



The JIG recommendations suggested implementable measures for the acceptance of 
Single Character IDN gTLDs.



RESOLVED,

The GNSO council approves the JIG Final Report on Single Character IDN TLDs, 
and forwards the report to the ICANN board and staff for its implementation 
into the next version of the New gTLD Applicant Guidebook.



RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council hereby expresses its appreciation to 
the JIG for their hardwork, and look forward to receiving further reports on 
"IDN Variant TLDs" and "Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs".
