Dear Councillors, During the last Council call, it was mentioned that someone had heard that there is a collective way to get a visa to Dakar through ICANN. I asked ICANN¹s travel team about this please, see their reply below. Should you be interested in using their Washington contact, please email constituency-travel(a)icann.org Kind regards, Gabi ------ Forwarded Message From: Joseph DeJesus <joseph.dejesus(a)icann.org> Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2011 20:19:57 -0700 To: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org> Cc: Joseph DeJesus <joseph.dejesus(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: Collective visa? Hi Gabriella, In regards to the Dakar visa, we do have a contact at the Washington DC office who can process the visa for us. We typically would like to do this on a batch processing. However, our local host is also doing online visas (should be available soon).

Extension mandate JIG WG Background The Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG) was created by adoption of the charter by the ccNSO (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jiwg-charter.pdf) and the GNSO (http://gnso.icann.org/resolutions/#200907) Both the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Implementation Plan and the new gTLD process have been approved by the Board of Directors, bringing into effect condition in the charter of the WG that upon adoption of either the IDN ccTLD overall policy or the new gTLD process by the ICANN Board of Directors, the WG will be closed, unless both the ccNSO and GNSO Council extend the duration of the JIG WG. Upon its creation the JIG identified 3 issues of common interest: 1. Single Character IDN TLDs; 2. IDN Variant TLDs; and, 3. Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs. The JIG has delivered a first report on Item 1 “Implementation of Single Character IDN TLD” to the ccNSO council and the GNSO council on date, which was adopted by both the GNSO Council and the ccNSO Council and delivered to the ICANN Board on May 11, 2011. At the request of the ICANN Board ICANN staff is looking into possible implementation issues and has sought clarification from the JIG and SSAC. At its meeting in Singapore the ccNSO extended the mandate of the JIG until 23 August, requesting a high-level work plan and schedule. The JIG WG proposed the following target timeline for completion of the remaining items of common interest: • 2011 Jul/Aug: Stocktaking & Development Initial Report for #3 (Public comments Sep 2011) • 2011 Sep/Oct: Completion of Initial Report for #2 (Public comments Nov 2011) • 2011 Nov/Dec: Completion of Draft Final Report for #2 (Public comments Feb/Mar 2012) • 2012 Jan/Feb: Completion of Draft Final Report for #3 (Public comments Feb/Mar 2012) • 2012 Mar: Finalization of Final Report for #2 • 2012 Apr: Finalization of Final Report for #3 • 2012 May-Oct: Implementation Follow up At its meeting on 21 July the GNSO extended the JIG charter through 2012 to complete its work.
