The IDNC WG Board Proposal, pursuant to IDNC WG charter, contains the final 
report of the IDNC WG, as well as the statement of GAC and ccNSO on the 
recommendations included in the report.

The IDNC WG has produced its draft final report for discussion by the GAC and 
the ccNSO pursuant to the charter of the IDNC WG.

Summary: The IDNC Working Group (IDNC WG) report on a methodology that would 
enable the timely and efficient ("fast track") introduction of a limited number 
of non-contentious IDN ccTLDs, while an overall long-term IDN ccTLD policy is 
being developed.

Process: The draft document is being made publicly available at this time 
solely to inform the community.

Background: The IDNC WG was charted by ICANN's Board to develop and report on 
feasible methods, if any, that would enable the introduction, in a timely 
manner and in a manner that ensures the continued security and stability of the 
Internet, of a limited number of non-contentious IDN ccTLDs, associated with 
the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes (both the official code list of ISO 3166-1 and 
the list of reserved ISO 3166-1 code elements)(popularly known as "the fast 
track"), while the overall IDN ccTLD policy is being developed.
