Note that ICANN pusblished the Draft Initial Report for the IDNC for public comment: http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/draft-initial-report-idnc-wg-01feb0 8.pdf <http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/draft-initial-report-idnc-wg-01feb 08.pdf> A decision we need to consider is whether we want to provide GNSO comments on this. In particular, we could provide relevant comments from our response to the ccNSO/GAC Issues Paper on IDN ccTLDs. Because the comment period ends 26 February, we probably should decide this in New Delhi when we are talking about this topic. On a related note, the public comment period on the Introduction of IDN ccTLDs ends on 25 February. We had previously discussed whether we should submit our full response to the ccNSO/GAC Issues Paper on IDN ccTLDs. I personally support this because our response directly answers the questions in that issues paper. But we should decide that in New Delhi. Certainly, we need to provide our response to the Board because they requested it.
