Dear all, We are looking for volunteers to a new cross-community Working Group on the Use of Country/Territory Names as TLDs. This Working Group is expected to review the current status of representations of country and territory names as they exist under current ICANN policies, guidelines and procedures and to provide advice on whether to develop a framework, applicable across all SO's and AC's – and if so, provide advice to the content of such a framework. A more detailed description of the work and scope of this group can be found in its charter, available at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unct-framework-charter-27mar14-en.pdf The Working Group will start its work, basing on the work of its predecessor, the the Working Group on the Use of Names for Countries and Territories as TLDs. Its final report is available at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unct-final-08sep12-en.pdf (please, make yourself familiar with it if you are interested in joining!). As a working group member you are expected to attend conference calls and to actively participate in online discussions. We are especially looking for people who have a high interest in regulatory and policy matters. Non-ccNSO members are also very welcome to participate! Should you be interested in joining this group, please, reply to this email by 18 April 2014. Kind regards, Gabi
