Kind regards, Kim Carlson From: Kimberly Carlson Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2015 9:13 AM To: 'ccTLDcommunity(a)cctld-managers.org' <ccTLDcommunity(a)cctld-managers.org>; 'ccnso-members(a)icann.org' <ccnso-members(a)icann.org> Cc: 'ccnso-council(a)icann.org' <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: Call for volunteers, ICANN's IDN Review Committee Dear all, ICANN has requested the ccNSO to seek and appoint two volunteers on the IDN Implementation Guidelines review team. Purpose of the group is to update the IDN Guidelines 2011 to take into account the changes in for example the terminology around IDN's and language tables. Those interested in participating should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: * DNS and IDNA protocols * IDN language or script tables, including variants and label level rules * IDN policy * IDN implementation * IDN label registration process and registration data * IDN related SSR issues, including string similarity * IDN usability challenges and universal acceptance You can view the ICANN announcement/call for volunteers here<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-07-20-en>. If you are interested in joining this working group, please let us know by 9 October 2015. In the event more than two volunteers put their name forward during the call for volunteers, the ccNSO Council will select the two members by an email decision making process. Background The IDN Implementation Guidelines address the IDN registration policies and practices, designed to minimize the risk of cybersquatting and consumer confusion, and respect the interests of communities using local languages and scripts. These Guidelines are for registry operators to implement IDNs at the second level. An overview of the Guidelines can be found at: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/implementation-guidelines-2012-02-25-… The Guidelines may be relevant for relevant for all ccTLD who allow IDN's and in particular IDN ccTLDs who are encouraged to follow the Guidelines through the IDN ccTLD Fast Track process, but are not obliged to do so.

As you will also know Jordi is serving on the Travel Funding Committee and oversees the ccNSO membership application process. In order to avoid vacancies Council would need to appoint another Councillor at its meeting in Dublin ( Wednesday 21 October). To make this feasible we kindly request Councillors to put their name forward for these two functions. The role of the travel funding committee, in particular the role of the committee itself, is described in the travel funding guideline, which can be found at: http://ccnso.icann.org/about/travel-funding. Currently, the other members of the Travel Funding Committee are: Dotty (NA region) and Katrina (EU Region). According to travel funding guideline, members of the travel funding committee should preferably from different Geographic Regions. The ccNSO membership Application process is described at: http://ccnso.icann.org/applications/form.htm If you have any questions either for Jordi or the secretariat with respect to one of the functions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. It is my understanding that both functions are not very time consuming. If you are interested please send an email to the list, indicating for which role you are interested. Thank you and kind regards, Bart

by Gabriella Schittek Oct. 13, 2015

Oct. 13, 2015

Dear Councillors, After reading your feedback, I am happy to conclude that you seem to agree that the LAC region only needs a extended nomination period. However, the timeline needs to be longer than Sunday, 18th October. I will therefore extend the timeline to Friday, 30 October. Please, let me know by tomorrow, 14th October at the latest in case you do not agree. Otherwise, I¹ll inform the list on the new nomination deadline for the LAC region.
