Dear all,

Reference is made to the SubPro Updates Workspace.

At the last CPWG call of 11 Sep 19:00 UTC, I provided a snapshot of where the Subsequent Procedures PDP WG was at with respect to considering public comments received to its Initial Report on the topic of Name Collisions. Here is the snapshot on Name Collisions as at 11 Sep.

While no CCT recommendations have been tagged to this topic, SubPro WG has noted a number of developments in this area, namely:
(1) the ICANN Board's most recent resolution of 14 March 2019 authorizing the (Name Collisions Analysis Project) NCAP Study 1; and
(2) the RFP by ICANN for a contractor to undertake NCAP Study 1.

At the said CPWG call, I also mentioned that SubPro WG deliberations on Name Collisions were only due to begin at its (then) next call which was on 12 Sep 20:00 UTC after which I would attempt to provide CPWG with a further update on this topic.

As it turned out, SubPro WG did start its deliberations on the topic but not sufficiently deeply to facilitate a useful revised update on my part. Therefore, I will defer any attempt to provide one until next week.
