["Mark McFadden - ISPCP Secretariat" <mcfadden@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Please note that the public comment period has been extended to 22 February
2008 for input to the Issues Report IDN ccPDP
http://ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-22jan08.htm

 

Dear all,

 

At its meeting on 2 October 2007 the ccNSO Council requested the creation of
an Issue Report as a first step in launching a ccPDP. To identify matters
that are potentially relevant to the Issues Report, a comment period was
opened on 19 December 2007 and would remain open until 25 January 2008.

 

In the Issue Report the following needs to be considered:

1.    Whether Article IX of the ICANN bylaws applies to IDN ccTLDs

associated with the ISO 3166-1 two letter codes, and if it does not then to
establish if Article IX should apply.

2.    Whether the ccNSO should launch a PDP to develop the policy for the

selection and delegation of IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1
two-letter codes.

 

As you may have noted both the GNSO Council and ccNSO Council have send a
letter to the ICANN Board relating to core elements of the IDN ccPDP.

It is anticipated the ccNSO and GNSO Council will meet during the ICANN
meeting in New Delhi to explain and discuss the background of the views
expressed in the letters. It is my view as Issue Manager of the ccPDP that
the outcome of such a meeting, if it will be convened, is significant as
input for the Issues Report. Therefore the period to provide input into the
Issues Report is extended from 25 January until

22 February 2008.

 

According to the ICANN by laws the creation of the Issue Report is the
second step in launching the IDN ccPDP. The first step was the request of
the ccNSO Council on 2 October 2007 to create an Issue Report. The final
step is  the decision of the ccNSO Council to initiate the ccPDP (see ICANN
by laws Annex B, section 2).

 

Kind regards,

Bart Boswinkel

Issue Manager IDN ccPDP
