FOR CONSIDERATION: Triage recommendation IANA ccTLD Delegation and Redelegation User Instruction Consultation
by Gabriella Schittek Sept. 13, 2013

Sept. 13, 2013

Dear Councillors, Below is the Triage Committee recommendation on how to move forward with ICANN's Consultation on ccTLD Delegation and Redelegation User Instructions and Source of Policy and Procedures. The recommendation is that beyond posting it to the relevant ccTLD lists (done), we should also revive the IANA Consultation Drafting team, which has drafted statements in the past to IANA consultations and ask them to draft an input document. In order to keep the various requests for input separated, we have started with a numbering system. This request is nr 15-2013 (as it was the 15th request we received since the start of this process in May). In case you object to this recommendation, please, post this to the Council email list by Monday, 16 September at the latest. If no objection is received by then, we understand that this recommendation has been approved. Kind regards, Gabi > (15-2013) > === > Topic: Consultation on ccTLD Delegation and Redelegation User Instructions and > Source of Policy and Procedures > > Originator: ICANN/IANA > > Summary of request: A consultation on the User Instructions and Source of > Policy for the Delegation and Redelegation of ccTLDs, as required in the IANA > functions contract > http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/cctld-drd-ui-policy-09sep13-en.… > > Date received: 10.09.2013 > > Last day for Comments/input/response, if any: 30.09.2013 > > Recommended action, if any: 1) Post to ccTLD email lists for information > (done) 2) Refer to established IANA Consultation Drafting team (which already > has drafted replies to IANA consultations in the past). > > Expertise needed, if any: Managerial > > Date of submission to Council: 12.09.2013 > > Last date of Council decision: 16.09.2013 > > Impact on ccNSO/ccTLDs: High > > >
