Hi Katrina,

It would be very helpful if the ccNSO responded to this call for comments.

The current draft is in line with what ccTLDs have been advocating (through our representatives in this WT5) and it is important that the ccNSO confirms this.

While it looks daunting, there are only two relevant questions for us: completing it is basically ticking two ‘support output as written’ boxes in a 46 page form.

Even if one might doubt the relevance of this additional round of comments, there is no downside to responding.

Peter

Dear Colleagues,

I haven’t heard back from you – so, we do not respond at all, do we?

Kind regards,

Subject: [ccnso-council] FW: Action Wanted: GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report - Published for Public CommentAct

Dear Colleagues,

Annebeth Lange, our co-chair on Work Track 5 (GNSO PDP SubPro), has informed us that the draft Final Report of the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures working group has been published for public comment at:

https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-new-gtld-subsequent-draft-final-report-2020-08-20-en

The draft report includes without modification the Final Report produced by Work Track 5. Annebeth urged everyone to pay special attention to:

• Topic 21 Reserved Names (see footnote 120), page 92/93 under letter c) on reservation of two-character letter-number combination at the top-level. Public Comment for Geographic Names is included in Topic 21, under 21.1, referring to Annex I, which contains the Final Report of Work Track 5.

https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-newgtld-wg-wt5/attachments/20191102/ab9ae278/WorkTrack5FinalReporttotheNewgTLDSubProPDPWG-22October20191-0001.pdf

It will strengthen the recommendations of Work Track 5 if supporting those under 21.1, question 117.

• Topic 24 – String Similarity Evaluations and Topic 25  IDNs, Topic 32 Limited Challenge/ Appeal Mechanisms (see page 156 for referral to Annex I)

Public comment period is open until 30 September. I would like to ask your thoughts: should we prepare and submit a Council statement? If yes, who would volunteer to prepare the first draft?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
