Following the Call for Community Experts[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_anno...>, a Working Group (WG) was formed in October 2015 to review the current version (3.0[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources...>) of the IDN Implementation Guidelines[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources...>, last updated in 2011. The WG updated the Guidelines and conducted the first public comment[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2D...> on them in March 2017. Based on the feedback received from the community, the WG has further updated the draft guidelines.

For other registries (e.g. Country Code Top Level Domain Name registries) this document is intended as the best current practice. These Guidelines are also intended for registrars offering registration of IDNs. = = = = Topic: 52-2017: Call for Volunteers: GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG Work Track 5 (Geographic Names at the Top-Level) Summary of request: The New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process Working Group seeks volunteers to serve on a new sub team, known as Work Track 5, which will focus exclusively on the treatment of geographic names at the top level.
