Hi Katrina

The continued reservation of the two letters for ccTLDs clearly needs to be publicly supported, and similarly the alpha-3 codes corresponding to the 3166 list (this was a big fight and we should be thankful they continue to be reserved, even if you would be a fan of a .GIN new gTLD!)

I am happy to do a first draft on the geo names, if that would be helpful?

Best wishes

Nick

Dear Colleagues,

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

Kind regards,

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,
