Hi, what was missed in my previous update report was the briefing after the first ccnso-idnpdpwg1 working team conference call held last Monday. Here it is: ICANN staff will prepare a first draft Topic Paper by mid september, which will be reviewed by the working team. This first paper will be discussed among the working team and should be available for public comments by mid October. There will be a face to face meeting of the wt in Seoul. The final topic paper including comments should be ready by 20 November. Regards Olga *Backgound information for the WT and Topic Paper:* Issues Report IDN ccPDP ( * http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/final-issues-report-idn-ccpdp-02apr09.p... *). This includes the issue paper of the joint GAC-ccNSO Working Group (which can also be found at: * http://ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-09jul07.htm*) . The issues paper also defines the scope of this WG. Draft Initial Report of the IDNC WG. This is comparable to the Topic Paper as mentioned above. The document can be found at *http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-01feb08.htm* ( it is a PDF document)
