The Draft Implementation Plan can be found here [PDF, 297K]. The IDN Fast Track Process is a mechanism recommended by the IDNC Working Group, focused on the introduction of a limited number of non contentious IDN ccTLDs, associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes, to meet near term demand, while an overall IDN ccTLD policy is being developed. At the ICANN meeting in Paris (June 2008) the IDNC Working Group submitted the Final Report to the ICANN Board, including statements of the GAC and ccNSO on the proposed methodology for introduction of a limited number of IDN ccTLDs. At its meeting in Paris the ICANN Board Resolved (2008.06.26.04), the Board thanks the members of the IDNC WG for completing their chartered tasks in a timely manner. Resolved (2008.06.26.05), the Board directs staff to: (1) post the IDNC WG final report for public comments; (2) commence work on implementation issues in consultation with relevant stakeholders; and (3) 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. Subsequently, ICANN staff posted the IDNC WG Final Report for public comments, and commenced the implementation work as directed. In order to provide the community with an overview of what actions (if any) staff took in their implementation work on the received comments, a consolidated overview of the comments received and document containing staff considerations regarding the comments received is made available here [PDF, 269K]. As part of the implementation process staff also submitted letters to relevant public authorities and ccTLD managers to seek information on their interest in participating in the Fast Track process. ICANN is still receiving responses to these letters and will provide a public report on these before the ICANN meeting in Cairo, Egypt (November 2008). The Draft Implementation Plan provides the roadmap and many implementation details for the Fast Track process. The plan is presented in modules that later will be further detailed and finalized for the IDN ccTLD Fast Track process. The modules are: Module 1: general Introduction and background Information Module 2: Fast Track Eligibility Requirements Module 3: TLD String Criteria and Requirements Module 4: Technical Committee Considerations Module 5: Fast Track Request and Evaluation Process Module 6: TLD Delegation Process Module 7: Discussion of Additional Topics Included in the Draft Implementation Plan are some open issues that will be reworked through additional community consultation and that need to be resolved, to complete the implementation. These topics are presented in Module 7. ICANN staff is encouraging and looking forward to these discussions at the ICANN meeting in Cairo, Egypt, 17 November 2008 and beyond. Comments on the Draft Implementation Plan are welcome via email to ft-implementation(a)icann.org. An archive of all comments received will be publicly posted at http://forum.icann.org/lists/ft-implementation/.

Acceptance of fax applications
by Gabriella Schittek Oct. 23, 2008

Oct. 23, 2008

Dear Councillors, An action point from the last Council call was "Action 34-05: The ccNSO Secretariat to send out a summary of the request on ending fax applications to the ccNSO Council list where it will be subject to voting." I would like to ask for your approval to end the acceptance of fax applications to the ccNSO. The main reason is that it is problematic to archive such applications. The fax is received in Marina del Rey, needs to be forwarded to me and then there is no real good archiving system for that. The applications submitted via the webform are automatically archived in our web-archives. I also think that the applicants are skilled enough to fill in the (very basic) web form, and last, but not least - fax applications are quite rare anyway. Please, can you send your approval/disapproval to this suggestion to this list by next Wednesday, 29th October 2008. Thanks, Gabi

Cancelled ccNSO/gNSO Council meeting Cairo
by Gabriella Schittek Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

Dear Councillors, Unfortunately, the joint ccnSO/gNSO Council meeting, which was scheduled for Monday, 3rd November, has to be cancelled. The reason is that a workshop on the rfp for New gTLDs is scheduled to take place at the same time, which the gNSO naturally has a great interest in. As it is a very busy week, we haven't been able to find any other time that would suit both groups to meet. Avri Doria, the gNSO Chair, has made very clear she is regretting the changed plans and underlines that the gNSO is still keen on meeting with the ccNSO - however, this needs to be done at the next meeting instead. Kind regards, Gabi

Oct. 22, 2008

Dear Councillors, One of the action items from the last council call was "Action 34-03 The Secretariat to send the goals established at the Council workshop in New Delhi to the Council list prior to the Council workshop." Attached is a summary that Patrick Sharry made just after the workshop in India. On page 3 you will see a list of things called "What can we do to make performance better?" and on page 5 "ccNSO Council activities - lead up to Africa". Please, read this in preparation for the Council workshop in Cairo. Please, also keep it in your laptops, as it will be up for review during the workshop. Kind regards, Gabi
