Apologies these are coming a bit late: JIG - ccNSO in the process of appointing co-chair - Some discussions being started on mailing list - Identified IDN TLD acceptance as a potential item of common interest - kick off discussion between co-chairs and chairs of GNSO/ccNSO planned IRD - Bi-weekly phone conference being established - Co-chairs identified: Myself from GNSO, Jeremy Hitchcock from SSAC - Continuing from staff initial study - Context of other WHOIS studies along with IRD being considered (i.e. what should be done by this group versus other items) - Schedule and scope of work to be laid out IDNG - Conference calls conducted and planed - Identified a potential item for council discussion: acceptance and process for application of a confusingly similar TLD string - Will redraft potential special IDN gTLD track WG for consideration Edmon
