Dear all, Please find attached the background paper on initiatives on IDN prepared by staff. This document is a compilation of existing work on Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). It responds to the GNSO Council resolution on 22 September 2005 that "request(ed) staff to provide a background document listing all past Board decisions regarding the implementation of IDNs, and the status of the IDN guidelines" . and "establish clearly roles of: * President's Advisory Committee on IDN * IDN registry review group (gtld and cctld reps) to develop Guidelines for the Implementation of the IETF IDN standards * GAC work on IDNs * GNSO/ccNSO policy development initiative." All the best, Maria
