Councillors,

Please find attached a message from the ccNSO Chair.

I am putting this item on our next agenda and will be seeking from the Council direction on how to act. Do we want to approve the sending of a joint Council letter, or do we prefer to let the ccNSO send it's own letter?

Failing any decision or direction from the Council on this at our next teleconference, I will report to the ccNSO that there is no agreement from the GNSO on sending the joint letter.

Thanks,

Stéphane

Hi Stephane,

As I advised previously, the ccNSO Council did not adopt the draft letter as proposed by the joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN WG (JIG). However, the ccNSO Council did decide to re-iterate its support for the introduction of Single Character IDN TLD’s and wanted to understand the current status of the implementation of the Board decision.  

Attached is the proposed letter from the ccNSO to the Board (Draft ccNSO to Board Single Character IDN TLD), which has been shared by email with the Council, but has not yet been formally adopted. Also attached is a draft joint letter for discussion with the GNSO  (Draft joint ccNSO-GNSO to Board).  

As the JIG is a joint WG, the ccNSO Council believes that a joint letter from the Councils remains the preferred option, and we would appreciate the views of the GNSO Council on this matter and whether the GNSO is willing to support the proposed letter.   

The ccNSO Council will adopt either the ccNSO or joint ccNSO & GNSO letter, as soon as possible, depending on the position of the GNSO Council.

Kind regards,

Lesley
ccNSO Chair
