Resolution Council on GNSO positions re timing of processes.
by Bart Boswinkel Feb. 26, 2009

Feb. 26, 2009

Dear all, Per Council call yesterday a proposed resolution of the ccNSO Council regarding the position of the GNSO on the launch of the Fast Track and new IDN gTLD process. In order to inform the GNSO and others in time, could you be so kind to vote ( in favour, abstain, or against) by Friday 20 November 2009, noon UTC. Thanks, and kind regards, Bart Resolution ---------------- Resolution ccNSO Council 16 February 2009 on timing of the launch of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track and new IDN gTLD process. Background In June 2007 the ICANN Board considered that the ICANN community is discussing the details involved in using an interim approach to IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes to meet near-term demands and to gain experience with mechanisms for selection and authorization of such TLDs that can inform a policy development process aimed at creating an overall policy. To that end the Board requested the chairs of the ALAC, ccNSO , GAC, GNSO and SSAC in November 2007 to establish a working group to develop and report on feasible methods, if any, that would enable the introduction, in a timely manner and in a manner that ensures the continued security and stability of the Internet, of a limited number of non-contentious IDN ccTLDs while the overall policy is being developed. The "IDNC Working Group" developed, after extensive community consultation, a final report on feasible methods for timely (fast-track) introduction of a limited number of IDN ccTLDs associated with ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes. At the ICANN meeting in Paris (May 2008), the Board directed staff to post the IDNC WG final report for public comments, commence work on implementation issues in consultation with relevant stakeholders; and submit a detailed implementation report including a list of any outstanding issues to the Board in advance of the ICANN Cairo meeting in November 2008. Resolution The ccNSO Council notes the GNSO Council comment ( submitted 15 August 2008) on the IDNC WG final report, which, among others, includes the statement that (paraphrased) in principle the introduction of IDN-labeled gTLDs or ccTLDs should not be delayed because of lack of readiness of one category. The ccNSO Council also notes the GNSO Council resolution of 8 January 2009, which, among others, states that the GNSO Council strongly believes that neither the new gTLD or ccTLD fast track process should result in IDN TLDs in the root before the other unless both the GNSO and ccNSO so agree. The ccNSO Council notes the change in the statements regarding the timing of the Fast Track and the new IDN gTLD process, and would welcome a meeting with the GNSO Council at the ICANN meeting in Mexico to gain a better understanding of the changed position, before the ccNSO Council will state its views on the matter itself. .

FW: [ccnso-council] Resolution Council on GNSO positions re timing of processes.
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 26, 2009

Feb. 26, 2009

Dear Councillors, This is just a reminder to vote on the proposed resolution on the GNSO position regarding the timing of the IDN implementation process - see below. Please, can I have your votes until Thursday, 26th February 2009. Thanks, Gabi From: owner-ccnso-council(a)icann.org [mailto:owner-ccnso-council@icann.org] On Behalf Of Chris Disspain Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 1:45 AM To: ccNSO Council Subject: [ccnso-council] Resolution Council on GNSO positions re timing of processes. All, Here is the slightly amended resolution. Please now vote on the list. Councillors may vote in favour, against or may abstain. "Resolution ccNSO Council 19 February 2009 on timing of the launch of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track and new IDN gTLD process. Background In 2007 the ccNSO, and the ICANN community generally, discussed the possibility of using an interim approach to IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes to meet near-term demands and to gain experience with mechanisms for the selection and delegation of IDN ccTLDs that would also inform a policy development process aimed at creating an overall policy on IDN ccTLDs. To that end in November 2007 the ICANN Board requested the chairs of the ALAC, ccNSO , GAC, GNSO and SSAC to establish a working group (the IDNC Working Group) to develop and report on feasible methods, if any, that would enable the introduction, in a timely manner and in a manner that ensures the continued security and stability of the Internet, of a limited number of IDN ccTLDs while the overall policy is being developed. After extensive community comment, the IDNC Working Group submitted its final report to the ICANN Board. In May 2008 the Board directed ICANN staff to post the IDNC WG final report for public comments, commence work on implementation issues in consultation with relevant stakeholders and submit a detailed implementation plan including a list of any outstanding issues to the Board in advance of the ICANN Cairo meeting in November 2008. Resolution The ccNSO Council notes that the GNSO Council submitted substantive comments on the IDNC WG final report. Included in those comments was a statement that "the introduction of IDN gTLDs or IDN ccTLDs should not be delayed because of lack of readiness of one category, but if they are not introduced at the same time, steps should be taken so that neither category is advantaged or disadvantaged, and procedures should be developed to avoid possible conflicts" (GNSO Council submission, 15 August 2008). The ccNSO Council also notes the GNSO Council resolution of 8 January 2009, which states that the GNSO Council strongly believes that neither the new gTLD nor ccTLD fast track process should result in IDN TLDs being entered into the root before the other unless both the GNSO and ccNSO so agree. The ccNSO Council notes the apparent change in the view of the GNSO regarding the timing of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track and the new IDN gTLD process. 'Prior to stating the ccNSO Council position, we would welcome a discussion with the GNSO Council to gain a better understanding of the apparent change in view."

First draft Issues Report IDN ccPDP
by Bart Boswinkel Feb. 25, 2009

Feb. 25, 2009

Dear all, Included is the first draft for the Issues Report for the IDN ccPDP for initial discussion and feedback by the Council. I would appreciate if this document could be discussed at the upcoming Council meeting in Mexico. Please note that two sections of the Issues Report are not available (yet). First of all, the opinion of ICANN's general counsel is not included as it has not been requested yet. This will be done as soon as there is a stable version of the Issues Report. The second element that is not included is a draft charter for a working group to propose amendments to Article IX of the ICANN bylaws to include IDN ccTLDs. Kind regards, Bart

Call for observer to the GNSO Council
by Gabriella Schittek Feb. 24, 2009

Feb. 24, 2009

Dear all, The ccNSO Observer to the GNSO Council, Pierre Bonis, has unfortunately resigned from .fr and his position as GNSO Council Observer. The ccNSO therefore needs to find another candidate for this post. The observer should be prepared to take part in the GNSO Council calls, as well as the GNSO Council meetings and general meetings - as far as possible. Please, note that the GNSO tends to meet a few days prior to each ICANN meeting, which means that the observer should be prepared to go a little earlier to each meeting. The candidate is appointed for one year with the possibility to be re-appointed. Please, let me know if you are interested in this position by the 3rd March 2009. Should we have more than two candidates, an election will be held. Kind regards, Gabi
