Here is a JIG update from Edmon. Chuck JIG Update: - ccNSO representatives appointed - some observers (including from the SSAC, participation from other ACs being invited) - charter adjusted to have the group come to a close at the adoption of either the new gTLD process (which includes IDN) or the IDN ccTLD PDP (not the fast track) - Discussions just starting, trying to identify the items of common interest to be discussed, possible 3: 1. IDN TLD string length restrictions for IDN ccTLDs and IDN gTLDs 2. Variant management at the root 3. IDN Language tables/policies implementation at the root zone (and consistency across TLDs) Edmon
