[Olivier.Guillard@nic.fr: IANA WG conf call]
by Olivier.Guillard＠nic.fr March 4, 2009

March 4, 2009

Dear Councillor Colleagues, the IANA WG had an audio conf, with the following agenda : 1/ Mexico : 2/ Future of the IANA WG See below the report about that audio conf. I had no new input from anyone. Therefore : 1/ I now ask Gabi to withdraw the room that was reserved on monday morning, and I also cancel of course the IANA WG meeting : 2/ I will prepare one (or two) slides by monday to report about IANA WG activity since Paris meeting, and will recommend the closure of the IANA WG (unless anybody voices against, in that case please provide your arguments). Best, --- Olivier ----- Forwarded message from Olivier.Guillard(a)nic.fr ----- From: Olivier.Guillard(a)nic.fr Subject: IANA WG conf call To: ccnso-iana-wg(a)icann.org Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:12:27 +0100 Hi everyone, we just had our IANA WG call with Bart, Kim, Shinta and myself. Here is the result of our chat : 1/ Mexico : Shinta and Myself will not be in Mexico. I had no input from anyone about particular topics that one would like to see adressed by the IANA Working Group. However, there is a room reserved on Monday 2nd for the IANA WG (between 11:00 and 12:30). I will suggest to cancel this monday meeting, unless any IANA WG member ask (by tommorrow) for this room and slot to stay reserved. 2/ Future of the IANA WG I will draft one (two ?) slide about the activity in the IANA working group over the past few months. Considering precisely this activity Shinta and myself we beleive that the closure of the WG should be recommended : I will suggest that, unless anybody suggest otherwise (in that case, please provide your arguments). At the end of the day, that will be up to the ccNSO to decide about next step anyway. Additionally, note that since my term as a Councillor stops at the Mexico meeting, I will formally also resign from my position as a Chair of the IANA WG (unless a real -and unexpected- need was required temporarly to ensure a wished transition). Best, -- Olivier ----- End forwarded message ----- -- -- Olivier

All votes received until the 26th February 00.00 UTC were taken into account. 13 votes were received in total, 11 in favour, 2 abstentions. In favour: .au, .cl, .cz, ,jp, .kr, .pr, .sd, .tt, .uk, .us, Becky Burr. Abstentions: .fr, .mx The resolution will be sent to Avri Doria later today and posted on our website. Many thanks, Gabi From: owner-ccnso-council(a)icann.org [mailto:owner-ccnso-council@icann.org] On Behalf Of Chris Disspain Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 1:45 AM To: ccNSO Council Subject: [ccnso-council] Resolution Council on GNSO positions re timing of processes. All, Here is the slightly amended resolution. Please now vote on the list. Councillors may vote in favour, against or may abstain. "Resolution ccNSO Council 19 February 2009 on timing of the launch of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track and new IDN gTLD process. Background In 2007 the ccNSO, and the ICANN community generally, discussed the possibility of using an interim approach to IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes to meet near-term demands and to gain experience with mechanisms for the selection and delegation of IDN ccTLDs that would also inform a policy development process aimed at creating an overall policy on IDN ccTLDs. To that end in November 2007 the ICANN Board requested the chairs of the ALAC, ccNSO , GAC, GNSO and SSAC to establish a working group (the IDNC Working Group) to develop and report on feasible methods, if any, that would enable the introduction, in a timely manner and in a manner that ensures the continued security and stability of the Internet, of a limited number of IDN ccTLDs while the overall policy is being developed. After extensive community comment, the IDNC Working Group submitted its final report to the ICANN Board. In May 2008 the Board directed ICANN staff to post the IDNC WG final report for public comments, commence work on implementation issues in consultation with relevant stakeholders and submit a detailed implementation plan including a list of any outstanding issues to the Board in advance of the ICANN Cairo meeting in November 2008. Resolution The ccNSO Council notes that the GNSO Council submitted substantive comments on the IDNC WG final report. Included in those comments was a statement that "the introduction of IDN gTLDs or IDN ccTLDs should not be delayed because of lack of readiness of one category, but if they are not introduced at the same time, steps should be taken so that neither category is advantaged or disadvantaged, and procedures should be developed to avoid possible conflicts" (GNSO Council submission, 15 August 2008). The ccNSO Council also notes the GNSO Council resolution of 8 January 2009, which states that the GNSO Council strongly believes that neither the new gTLD nor ccTLD fast track process should result in IDN TLDs being entered into the root before the other unless both the GNSO and ccNSO so agree. The ccNSO Council notes the apparent change in the view of the GNSO regarding the timing of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track and the new IDN gTLD process. 'Prior to stating the ccNSO Council position, we would welcome a discussion with the GNSO Council to gain a better understanding of the apparent change in view."

Olivier, You may have misunderstood. There is nothing in the resolution to indicate that we support delaying the process. Perhaps you could explain why you think it does.

Resolution Council on GNSO positions re timing of processes.
by Bart Boswinkel Feb. 26, 2009

Feb. 26, 2009

Dear all, Per Council call yesterday a proposed resolution of the ccNSO Council regarding the position of the GNSO on the launch of the Fast Track and new IDN gTLD process. In order to inform the GNSO and others in time, could you be so kind to vote ( in favour, abstain, or against) by Friday 20 November 2009, noon UTC. Thanks, and kind regards, Bart Resolution ---------------- Resolution ccNSO Council 16 February 2009 on timing of the launch of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track and new IDN gTLD process. Background In June 2007 the ICANN Board considered that the ICANN community is discussing the details involved in using an interim approach to IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes to meet near-term demands and to gain experience with mechanisms for selection and authorization of such TLDs that can inform a policy development process aimed at creating an overall policy. To that end the Board requested the chairs of the ALAC, ccNSO , GAC, GNSO and SSAC in November 2007 to establish a working group to develop and report on feasible methods, if any, that would enable the introduction, in a timely manner and in a manner that ensures the continued security and stability of the Internet, of a limited number of non-contentious IDN ccTLDs while the overall policy is being developed. The "IDNC Working Group" developed, after extensive community consultation, a final report on feasible methods for timely (fast-track) introduction of a limited number of IDN ccTLDs associated with ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes. At the ICANN meeting in Paris (May 2008), the Board directed staff to post the IDNC WG final report for public comments, commence work on implementation issues in consultation with relevant stakeholders; and submit a detailed implementation report including a list of any outstanding issues to the Board in advance of the ICANN Cairo meeting in November 2008. Resolution The ccNSO Council notes the GNSO Council comment ( submitted 15 August 2008) on the IDNC WG final report, which, among others, includes the statement that (paraphrased) in principle the introduction of IDN-labeled gTLDs or ccTLDs should not be delayed because of lack of readiness of one category. The ccNSO Council also notes the GNSO Council resolution of 8 January 2009, which, among others, states that the GNSO Council strongly believes that neither the new gTLD or ccTLD fast track process should result in IDN TLDs in the root before the other unless both the GNSO and ccNSO so agree. The ccNSO Council notes the change in the statements regarding the timing of the Fast Track and the new IDN gTLD process, and would welcome a meeting with the GNSO Council at the ICANN meeting in Mexico to gain a better understanding of the changed position, before the ccNSO Council will state its views on the matter itself. .
