Dear all, The ccNSO Council initiated the third ccNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) at its meeting in Copenhagen during ICANN58. As part of the launching process feed-back, comment and input is sought on the issues as defined in the Issue Report. Purpose: In accordance with section 3 Annex B of the ICANN Bylaws the ccNSO Council has initiated the third ccNSO Policy Development Process (ccPDP). The goal of this ccPDP is to develop and recommend policies to the ICANN Board of Directors pertaining to: • The retirement of country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) • Review Mechanisms for decisions relating to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of ccTLDs Status: As required under Annex B of the Bylaws and after initiation of the ccPDP, the Issue Report is posted for public comment on behalf of the ccNSO PDP Issue manager. Public comments, in particular on and related to the scope of the ccPDP are welcomed. Next Steps: After the closure of the public comment forum, the Issue Manager will include the comments received in the Comments Report, which then be made available and used to inform the discussions by the ccPDP Working Group (WG) on retirement on of ccTLDs and – later – by the WG working on the development of a recommended policy pertaining to a review mechanism.
