Hello Everyone, Once again, I am glad to be a member of the BC. In my previous position at eBay I was involved with the BC and found it very critical to the company. As a new employee at Facebook I immediately recommended we join. Hopefully, I will have more time to participate than I did previously. Looking forward to hearing all the discussions of the numerous ICANN issues. Best regards, Susan Kawaguchi Domain Name Manager Facebook Inc. 1601 S.

Proposed Final Implementation Plan: IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process
by BC Secretariat Oct. 1, 2009

Oct. 1, 2009

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-30sep09-en.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposed Final Implementation Plan: IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process 30 September 2009 ICANN is pleased to announce the public posting of the Proposed Final Implementation Plan for the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process [PDF, 897K]. The IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process is an important step at making the Internet equally accessible for everyone. It will enable the introduction of a limited number of internationalized country-code top level domain names (IDN ccTLDs). Once implemented, this will be the first time that users can obtain a domain name with the entire string in characters based on their native language. The process will be available to all countries and territories where the official language is based on scripts other than the Latin (extended) script. The proposed final plan is scheduled for ICANN Board consideration at the ICANN meeting in Seoul, Korea, 26-30 October 2009. The proposed launch date for the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process is 16 November 2009. ICANN is looking forward to feedback on the proposed final plan in the public comment forum designated for that purpose. The proposed final plan has been developed based on responses to community comments and discussions. See the latest status update at: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-09sep09-en.htm As noted there are a number of outstanding topics that has been discussed in public comment on implementation proposals of the Fast Track Process since the initial version of the Draft Implementation Plan was released on 23 October 2008. These include: (i) the form of relationship between an IDN ccTLD manager and ICANN, (ii) cost considerations regarding contribution to processing and TLD support costs, (iii) management of variant TLDs. Solutions to these issues have been discussed, and while current opinions or positions of each community segment is well understood, it is believed that additional discussions on these topics will not facilitate further community agreement on these topics. In order to avoid delay to the launch of the Fast Track Process and its associated benefits these topics have been provided for ICANN Board consideration. Background The Fast Track Process is a mechanism to introduce a limited number of non-contentious internationalized country-code top level domain names (IDN ccTLDs). The initial version and three subsequent revisions of the implementation of the Fast Track Process were discussed at several meetings and online. That community input resolved a number of issues. As a result of the progress on the implementation effort, at the recent ICANN meeting in Mexico, Mexico City, the Board encouraged the community to ".continue its work so that the implementation plan can be finalized and considered by the Board no later than at its annual meeting in 2009". The release of the Proposed Final Implementation Plan is an effort to meet the goal set out in the ICANN Board resolution aimed at enabling positive consideration by the ICANN Board at their meeting in Seoul, Korea (30 October 2009), followed by launch of the process. The papers listed below are proposed only. Potential IDN ccTLD requestors should not rely on any of the proposed details as they remain subject to further consultation and revision. Please also note that it is expected there will be several updates to this announcement, as papers are released, finalized and translated.
