Re: [ALAC] ccNSO Updates October - November 2018
Dear Colleagues, I would like to share a brief update from the ccNSO. There has been limited activity since we left Barcelona but there is some news nonetheless Whats New? ccPDP Working Group Meeting The working group held its meeting on 15th November 2018 at 17:00 UTC. The meeting was a followup on the face to face deliberations held in Barcelona which included a mind maps exercise. Some of the scenarios that were tested included: 1. Time required by a ccTLD to complete the retirement process. Some groups were for shorter period of times for example 2 to five years. Those who supported the shorter time period argued that it would provide necessary pressure to the ccTLD Manager to complete the process. Other groups proposed 10 years. The argument was it would allow registries and registrants to make the necessary transition without pressure. The next meeting will be on 29 November 2018. 2. What would happen to codes that had been retired in the event that a country reverted to its old name for example Democratic Republic of Congo (.CD) Reverts to Zaire (.ZR) Study Group on use of Emoji as TLDs The Study Group will release its final report in KOBE. Some ccNSO Councillors felt that there is need for a deeper understanding on the potential value of emoji as TLDs and that the current scenario in which use of emoji is viewed from a negative standpoint because of the confusing similarity that might affect end users should be changed. ccNSO Council Meeting The ccNSO November meeting was cancelled since it fell on the last day of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum that took place last week. Since most Councillors were actively participating in the IGF, a decision was made to merge the meeting with the December meeting which will be held on 6th December 2018 New ccNSO Members Since the ICANN meeting in Barcelona three new members have joined the ccNSO. .TD (Chad) .li (Liechtenstein) .CH (Switzerland This brings the total number of ccNSO Members to 171 Election Notice: ccNSO Council , European Region The elections for the position of ccNSO Council Member - European Region started on Thursday 8 November 2017 (00:01 UTC) and will close on Thursday , 22 November (23:59 UTC).
