[To: council[at]gnso.icann.org; liaison6c[at]gnso.icann.org] [To: ga[at]gnso.icann.org; announce[at]gnso.icann.org] [To: regional-liaisons[at]icann.org] A request to Provide Input to the Issue Report on Introduction of IDN ccTLDs has been posted at http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-19dec07.htm The comment period ends at 25th January 2008. At its meeting on 2 October 2007, the ccNSO Council resolved to call for an Issue Report to examine the need for a Policy Development Process (ccPDP) to consider: 1. Whether Article IX of the ICANN bylaws applies to IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1 two letter codes, and if it does not then to establish if Article IX should apply. 2. Whether the ccNSO should launch a PDP to develop the policy for the selection and delegation of IDN ccTLDs associated with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes. The Council requested that, in preparing the Issue Report, the Issue Manager identify policies, procedures, and/or by-laws that should be reviewed and, as necessary revised, in connection with the development and implementation of any IDN ccTLD policy. The Council, also at the 2 October meeting, appointed Bart Boswinkel as Issue Manager by the ccNSO Council, responsible for producing the Issue Report. The ccNSO Council has asked Bart Boswinkel to consider, in preparing the Issue Report and in proposing a time line for conducting each stage of the ccPDP, the joint ccNSO GAC Issues Paper, the technical limitations and requirements including the IDNA Guidelines, and any other matters that the Issue Manager considers to be of relevance, which includes the intermediate results and final outcome of the work of the IDNC Working Group (“fast track approach”). To identify matters that are potentially relevant to the Issues Report, a comment period will open on 19 December 2007 and close on 25 January 2008. Comments can be submitted via email and will be archived for public review. The email address for comments and link to the archive will be published at the opening of the comment period.

State your name and affiliation; 2. Briefly identify the issue, concern, or idea you want to raise; 3. Explain what the issue, concern, or idea; 4. Explain your specific interest in the matter raised; 5. Indicate why you think it is within the scope of the questions raised by the ccNSO Council (see above) . It would be most helpful if you also identify any relevant publicly available documentation, for future reference.

Draft - Appeal to Board relating to IDNC WG
by Avri Doria 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi, The attached document is the draft produced by the small drafting team set up for that purpose. This is not on the agenda for 20 Dec, but rather for 3 Jan. In the meantime we can discuss it on the list and can revise it as necessary before the meeting. At this point I see a few alternative actions: - After revisions and discussions by the council it is sent to the Board - After discssions and a decsion on the 6th, it is sent back to the drafting team for further work. - After discussion by the council we decide to do somethig ther en send this to the Board. Note: One line in the draft says that this has the agreement of the council. that phrase is [bracketed with a note] as it is obviously not (yet) the case. I thank those who participated in the drafting team. a.

WHOIS study template for GNSO consideration
by liz.gasster 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

GNSO Councilors, Attached please find a draft template for your consideration, developed by our subgroup, that can be used to suggest studies on WHOIS. Once reviewed and approved by the Council, this template will be used to solicit ideas for studies of WHOIS from GNSO councilors, constituencies and from the SOs and ACs. It can also be posted to solicit public comments following Council approval. Pending Council approval of the template, the design team may also continue on with the next step of defining a few studies using that template, and passing those on to other ICANN groups that might be interested in contributing ideas for studies. Thanks, Liz Liz Gasster Senior Policy Counselor ICANN

Re: [council] WHO study agenda item - creation of a template for study proposals
by Denise Michel 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

I concur. Staff will use the most appropriate processes to seek cost estimates for the Council's study propoasal. Regards, Denise Denise Michel VP Policy Development -----Original Message----- From: "Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes(a)verisign.com> To: Avri Doria <avri(a)acm.org> To: Council GNSO <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Sent: 12/17/2007 2:41:26 PM Subject: RE: [council] WHO study agenda item - creation of a template for study proposals I would like to suggest what I think is a friendly amendment to the next to last bullet in the motion: "Any proposal approved by the council will then be sent out for bid by ICANN staff." I suggest it be changed to the following: "Any proposal approved by the council will then be sent to ICANN staff for preparing cost estimates." It may be that staff would need to request bids but I don't think we should tie there hands if they can do cost estimates without asking for bids. Also, organizations are not always highly motivated to provide bids if there is a high degree of uncertainty that a study would actually be approved. Chuck -----Original Message----- From: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Avri Doria Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 3:34 PM To: Council GNSO Subject: [council] WHO study agenda item - creation of a template for study proposals Hi, In terms of this item of the agenda, the design team has been working, but there is a slight delay in terms of getting the template out for discussion. I expect the template to be available for the council to review starting tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. I propose the following for the discussion: - Liz will walk us through the template - Council discussion on the template - council discussion of the next steps in accordance with our decision in LA on studies related to whois: I propose the following as a starting point for the discussion: -- The design team works on filling out the template for a number of studies. This team remains open to new members and any GNSO constituency member interested in sponsoring a study is encouraged to join the design team. -- The form is forwarded on the the chairs of the GAC and ALAC because those groups have also indicated an interest in whois studies -- the form can be forwarded to the chairs of other groups if relevant. - Initial proposals are due on 10 January - The council will review initial proposals for studies at its 17 January meeting. - Any proposal approved by the council will then be sent out for bid by ICANN staff - Further proposals for studies may be reviewed at a later time. thanks a.
