The vote determines whether the ccNSO membership supports the ccNSO Council recommendation to adopt the proposed ccPDP4-IDN ccTLD policy.

While the policy may not immediately impact your ccTLD, it paves the way for non-Latin script country code Top Level Domains and their variants to be accessible for domain name registration. Approval of the recommended IDN ccTLD Policy by the ccNSO membership is pivotal, as it will then be presented to the ICANN Board of Directors for their deliberation.

Your thoughtful deliberation on these matters is deeply appreciated.
