Dear members of the ccTLD community,

A small group of the CWG Stewardship, was tasked to further explore the need for an appeal mechanism for ccTLD delegations and redelegations(*). Following the feed-back and input received on the December 1, 2014 draft proposal of the CWG Stewardship and other consultations.

Based on your feed-back to date, there appears to be considerable uncertainty in the ccTLD community on the issue of an appeal mechanism for ccTLD delegations and redelegations. To move forward, the small group (Team B) will send out a survey early next week (if not before).

The purpose of the survey is to determine whether there is sufficient consensus within the ccTLD community to permit the development and implementation of such a mechanism in the context of the IANA stewardship transition process. Unless there is a clear consensus from within the ccTLD community on this issue, it is unlikely that it will be developed at this time.

The survey details will be available in all UN languages.

Regards

Allan MacGillivray, leader Design Team B, CWG Stewardship CIRA (.ca)

On behalf of the ccTLD members and participants in the Cross Community Working Group on IANA Stewardship Transition
