IDN ccPDP WG2 needs Council consideration
by HiroHOTTA Nov. 16, 2010

Nov. 16, 2010

Let me recap what I said in today's Council call : ================================================================ One of the issues identified by IDN ccPDP WG2 is a membership voting mechanism in Article IX and Annex B to the ICANN Bylaws, which is considered to need modification in order to accommodate IDN ccTLDs. On the other hand, the WG noted that the the ccNSO Rules and Guidelines include procedures relating to membership votes. These rules may need to be adjusted to the proposed revision of ICANN Bylaws no later than the IDN ccPDP recommendations on the inclusion of IDN ccTLDs are implemented. However, the scope of the IDN ccPDP WG2 is to focus on of Article IX of the ICANN Bylaws and associated Annexes (Annex B and C of the ICANN Bylaws) according to WG charter. So, if needed, at the direction of ccNSO Council, the WG will further look into Rules and Guidelines as well, and propose changes to align the Rules and Guidelines with the recommendations under the IDN ccPDP, by broadening WG scope. ================================================================ After my explanation, ccNSO Chair Chris said that the Council will discuss about whether WG2 charter should be broadened in Cartagena, which I agreed on. Hiro
