7.1 Discussion and or adoption final paper
(https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-ctn-final-paper-15jun17-en.pdf )
Background
At the ccNSO members meeting in Johannesburg the recommendations of the CCWG Use of Country and Territory names to continue work on use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs were discussed and supported. However, the format to continue work is still under community discussion. Awaiting the outcome of that discussion the ccNSO Councils deferred the discussion and adoption of the final paper to the next meeting (July 2017). By adopting the recommendations in the final paper the ccNSO Council effectively closes the Cross-community Working group and supports the need for additional work in this area.
However, following ICANN 59 the next steps on how future work on the use of names countries and territories as TLDs will be structured and how the ccTLD community could participate most effectively is not clear (yet).
7.2 Discussion recommendation Study Group CTN Letter to the Board to request continued exclusion of country and territory names in subsequent new gTLDs rounds.
For discussion and / or decision.
Background
In September 2014 the Study Group recommended Council: In light of the need for further work on the treatment of country and territory names, the complexity of the issue at hand and the aforementioned inconsistencies between various ICANN policies, it is also recommended that the ccNSO Council request that the ICANN Board extend the current rule in the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook regarding the exclusion of all country and territory names in all languages, for consecutive rounds of new gTLD applications.
Council adopted this recommendation in 2014. Given the establishment of the CCWG UCTN, Council did not pursue this recommendation, awaiting the outcome of the deliberations and recommendations of the CCWG.
At the ccNSO members meeting in Johannesburg the recommendations of the CCWG Use of Country and Territory names to continue work on use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs were discussed and supported. This also included the recommendation of the Study Group. However, as the format to continue work is still under community discussion, and interest of the ccTLD community in future efforts needs to be ensured the ccNSO Councils deferred decision to send the letter.
