The application has been filed by Mrs Wafa Dahmani Zaafouri, representing the cc's manager Agence Tunisienne d'Internet. As you can see from IANA's response below, there are no outstanding issues with .tn. Please let me know if you have any objections to .tn's membership before Friday 18 October. If agreed, .tn will (this time truly) be member #140. Cheers, Roelof Meijer SIDN | Meander 501 | 6825 MD | P.O.

FINWG update
by Byron Holland Oct. 7, 2013

Oct. 7, 2013

Dear Colleagues, At the last meeting of the FinWG we made considerable progress on the issue. Following suggestions from our previous meeting, we reviewed the merits of having 'contributions ranges' at specific levels of domains under management. We then turned to a detailed review of the proposed contribution guideline itself. A number of useful suggestions were made and we are following up with edits. We also reviewed a draft of a larger report that the FinWG would make to the ccNSO Council. While some useful comments have been sent in, it is hoped that more will be received. The group is working towards bringing closure to the issue in Buenos Aires in November. Given the tight timeline, it is thought that we need to reach out to the broader ccNSO community to give them a chance to better understand what is being proposed and to offer their own suggestions with the idea of a webinar later this month having been raised as a way to address this. We also began to discuss the mechanics of communicating the results of the whole process to ICANN at the end. This will likely take the form of an exchange of letters between the ICANN CEO and the chair of the ccNSO. Best regards, Byron

For Your Information: Working Group updates ( agenda item 6, Council call 8 October 2013)
by Bart Boswinkel Oct. 6, 2013

Oct. 6, 2013

Update Working Groups Joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN WG (JIG) The chair of the GNSo has been informed of the adoption of the suggested joint note to the ICANN Board of directors. The WG has not met since the Durban meeting. Next call will be 15 October. The WG will finalize the Final Report on Unoversal Acceptnace of IDN TLD's which will be submitted to both the ccNSO and GNSO Councils for discussion and decision. Contact Repository Implementation Working Group ( CRI) The CRI is preparing a note for the community whether the Security Incident contact repository as identified is still needed by the community, in particular if the use cases identified are still relevant. Secondly the WG wants to understand whether the the ccTLD community intends to subscribe to the service, if properly defined, taking in account the potential costs of a subscription etc. The WG is of the opinion it only makes sense to put in more effort, if enough members of the community will subscribe. Joint DNS Stability and Security Analysis Working Group The DSSA Wg is currently discussing a letter for the co-chairs to the participating SO's and AC"s. If adopted the ccNSO, and in particular the ccNSO Council will be presented two options: 1. Accept the Report of the DSSA as its Final Report. This will close the WG and the Final Report will be disseminated among the interested parties. 2. If all participating SO's and AC's agree, continue as a cross-community WG, however in this case the charter needs to be amended and a new call for volunteers is needed who have expertise to work on a thorough analysis, using the proposed methodology. The DSSA leadership strongly recommends the first option. Study Group on use of country and territory names as TLD's Included as separate agenda item ( item 4).
