The study group is expected to: 1) provide an overview of current and proposed policies, guidelines and procedures for allocation and delegation of strings currently used or proposed to be used as TLDs that are either associated with Countries and Territories (i.e., by inclusion on the ISO 3166-1 list) and/or are otherwise considered representations of the names of Countries and Territories. 2. A comprehensive overview of the types and categories of strings currently used or proposed to be used as TLDs that are either associated with Countries and Territories (i.e., by inclusion on the ISO 3166-1 list) and/or are otherwise considered representations of Country and Territory names. 3. A comprehensive overview of issues arising (or likely to arise) in connection with applying the current and proposed policies, guidelines and procedures for allocation to types and categories of strings currently used or proposed to be used as TLDs that are either associated with Countries and Territories (i.e., by inclusion on the ISO 3166-1 list) and/or are otherwise considered representations of Country and Territory names. If considered appropriate by the study group, the study group will advise on a course of further actions, if any, to resolve issues identified under 3. For more detailed information, see http://www.ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/use-of-names-statement-of-purpose-3 1jan10-en.pdf The study group will also contain members and liaisons from other stakeholder groups, such as the GAC, ALAC and GNSO. If you are interested in joining this Study Group, please, let me know by Monday, 14 February 2011 at the latest. You do not need to be a member of the ccNSO to become a member of the Study Group!
