IDN ccTLD related work items ccPDP 4 & Bylaw change
a. Launch ccPDP 4:
Appointment an oversight committee.
Volunteers to date are: Katrina Sataki (chair and EU), Pablo Rodiguez (NA), Hiro Hotta (AP), Margarita Valdes ( LAC), Abdalla Omari ( AF) and Laura Margolis (NomCom) and Marie-Noémie Marques (NomCom)
Not required, but a council Committee could overlook the process

Others are in favour
b.
Request change Article 10 and Annex B ICANN Bylaws to include IDN ccTLD Managers in the ccNSO
For adoption Letter to the ICANN Board of Directors
In Montreal we asked those in the room whether their sentiment has changed. Supported by all.
Move? Young-eum
Second? Hiro
Include background, and explain how this letter and separation came about (ccPDP2-ccPDP4 and bylaw change)
Young-eum: question regarding inclusion IDN ccTLDs?
Katrina: discussion between 2007-2014. Allow IDN ccTLDs to become members of the ccNSO. Bylaw change needed. If there is a vote, there is one vote per country/territory.
That addresses the issue if 2 different entities that operate ASCII ccTLD and IDN ccTLD operator need to coordinate.

Abstain? Stephen
Others are in favour. Resolution is passed
8.
Update ccNSO related ICANN Bylaw Change Repository
The Bylaw change repository has been updated:
- Conclusion amendment Article 18 (IFR)
- Possible need to strike section on ccNSO AGM (section 10.4.(f)).
- Possible need to change section 10.3.d.(i) reference to date elected Councillors take their seat.
Practice differs from what is included in the bylaws. (when elected council members take their seat)
Stephen: either change the bylaw, or comply with the bylaw.
