[To:council[at]gnso.icann.org] The revised draft Terms of Reference for IDN policy development activities has been posted in preparation for the GNSO Council meeting on 19 October 2006. See: http://gnso.icann.org/issues/idn-tlds/ http://gnso.icann.org/issues/idn-tlds/idn_tor_draft-12oct06.htm This relates to Item 5: Next steps with respect to IDNs - Olof Nordling to identify issues that require resolution prior to issuing a call for new gTLDs that use IDN domains, and propose a possible new terms of reference - Consider whether to address terms of reference via a separate PDP, or initially use a working group approach Note the GNSO Council did form a working group to review the issues report in May 2006, see: http://www.gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-18may06.shtml and this working group could be re-formed to focus on a few issues in collaboration with the ccNSO. Thank you. Kind regards, Glen Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat - ICANN gnso.secretariat[at]gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org
