Dear all, The Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG WG) that was formed in June 2009 is now calling for volunteers. The purpose of the Ad-hoc ccNSO/GNSO Joint IDN Working Group is to deal with issues related to the introduction of IDN ccTLDs under the IDN ccTLD Fast Track implementation process and IDN gTLDs under the new gTLD implementation process which are of common interest to both the GNSO and ccNSO. You'll find more information in the JIG WG Charter at this link http://www.ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jiwg-charter.pdf Membership of the JIG WG is open to everyone and you do not need to be a ccNSO member to participate. However, only five members can be appointed and if there are more than five volunteers the Council will decide who the members will be. If you are interested in participating in the JIG WG, please let me know via email before 5 September 2009. Kind regards, Kristina / ccNSO Secretariat
