Keith Davidson will present APTLD's case, regarding the approach from APTLD to support their stand on IDN ccTLD (see Attachment section for document, and text of request from Don Hollander is below) REQUEST FROM APTLD: One of the things that we would very much appreciate APRALO considering is the allocation of top level IDN ccTLDs on a very limited basis. IDN ccTLDs at the top level are the equivalent of the existing ccTLDs (allocated to a country or a territory), but in a script that is more useable to the cc's population. APTLD prepared the attached proposal for a FastTrack allocation of ccTLD IDN's on a very limited basis while ICANN goes through their more extensive Policy Development Process (which can take two years - or more!). APTLD has received endorsement from CENTR (the European equivalent of APTLD) who have a number of members directly affected. In a recent survey of members by both APTLD and CENTR, there were less than a dozen ccTLDs that expressed an interest in participating in the FastTrack option - but those members represent more than 25% of the WORLD's population. We would very much appreciate it if APRALO could consider supporting this very limited and controlled approach and to vocally show this support at the ICANN meeting LA. Current Activity to date in the ALAC WG on this matter can be found at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?alac_idn_working_group Discussion of the matter and consideration of the following Proposed Motion:- 'That APRALO support the "very limited and controlled approach"; for an allocation of ccTLD IDN's, as proposed by the APTLD, for a FastTrack allocation of ccTLD IDN's, while ICANN goes through their more extensive Policy DevelopmentProcess; and to vocally show this support at the ICANN meeting LA.'
