Dear All:
The ccNSO meeting #201 was held on December 21st. at 21:00 UTC.
You can find the AGENDA here, but I would like to highlight some topics:
Update on ccPDP4-IDN
The fourth Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Policy Development Process Working Group (ccPDP4-IDN) sought community input on its initial policy proposals and is now analyzing the comments. The group hopes to complete its evaluation by January 2024. Once the ccNSO Council recommends adoption of the proposed policy, it will be put to a vote of the ccNSO membership.
The fourth ccPDP defines the criteria, process, and procedures for the (de)selection of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) ccTLDs associated with the country codes assigned to countries, territories, or other areas of geopolitical interest listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard. This ccPDP also responds to the ICANN Board's request to address issues related to variants of IDN ccTLD strings in coordination with the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and the ICANN Board's question as to whether IDN tables should be reviewed upon submission. Once adopted by the ICANN Board and implemented by the ICANN organization, the proposed IDN ccTLD string selection policy will eventually replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track process.
IGLC – Internet Governance Liason Committee
The IGLC prepared an FAQ prior to ICANN78, in preparation for its session on WSIS+20. The WSIS+20 FAQ for ccTLDs is a comprehensive guide to understanding the significance of the 2025 review of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS+20) for ccTLDs. During ICANN78, the IGLC held a working session where ccTLD community members and ICANN’s Government and Intergovernmental Organization Engagement (GE) team explored what the hot issues in Internet governance are on a regional basis. The IGLC compared the input with previous trends exercises.
