RE: [council] GNSO Council Comments in IDNC WG Final Report

Thanks Mike. Regarding the first part, I think the following comes closer to capturing my concerns: There may be only one IDN ccTLD string per ISO 3166-1 entry per relevant script per relevant language, but in any event no more than one fasttrack IDN per relevant language. That allows the broader concept for the overall ccNSO PDP but keeps it somewhat narrower for the fasttrack.

I think this would more narrowly proscribe IDN ccTLDs than I think is necessary, but does provide impetus to end the fast track asap and get the full policy developed. It then remains an issue we must continue to monitor in that ccPDP. So I'm OK with it, too, but could be more flexible if needed. We at least need to make sure the current language changes, as it is too open-ended and vague. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Gomes, Chuck Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 7:29 AM To: Tim Ruiz; Council GNSO Subject: RE: [council] GNSO Council Comments in IDNC WG Final Report Tim's wording seems pretty good to me.

Apologies for the delays for turning this document around. Please find attached the updated document. I have adopted the suggested edits by Tim. On the other point, regarding financial consideration / cost-recovery issue, I did not see any suggestion from Tim, so I have added the following to the final sentence of the final paragraph: "and the consideration of cost and cost recovery principle of ICANN processes, will be paramount for the success of the Fast Track IDN ccTLD process." Hope this works for everyone. Edmon PS. Avri, please take it from here. Upon finalization, I am happy to help post it to the public comments.

Hi, The document that is attached is the version Edmon just sent out with all edits accepted. As the deadline is the Friday 15 Aug, I intend to send this in before that deadline if there are not objection in the Council to its content as was discussed at our last meeting. Please let the Council list know of any objections with 24 hours of this note (by 1200 UTC 14 August). If I have not received any objections by that time, I will submit the document as the GNSO council response. Thanks a.

Sounds good Avri. Thanks Edmon for all the work on this. I like the last paragraph although I wonder whether the point about cost recovery will be picked up. At the same time I support sending this report in. Chuck
