The Study Group's goal is to provide the ccNSO Council, ccTLD community and other interested stakeholders, including the GAC and GNSO Council, an overview of the scope and issues associated with the use of Country and Territory names as TLD strings and the scope and impact of alternative action paths on IDN ccTLD and new gTLD processes.

Additional Information
The Final Report was submitted for consideration to the ccNSO Council in October 2013. The ccNSO Council adopted the report and resolved to:
- Invite the ALAC, GAC and GNSO to establish a cross community working group, which is tasked to:
- Further review the current status of representations of country and territory names, as they exist under current ICANN policies, guidelines and procedures;
- Provide advice regarding the feasibility of developing a consistent and uniform definitional framework that could be applicable across the respective SO's and AC's; and
- Should such a framework be deemed feasible, provide detailed advice as to the content of the framework.
The ccNSO secretariat was asked to coordinate drafting of a strawman for the charter of the proposed ccWG to facilitate the invitation and discussion with the SO's and AC's mentioned.
