AGENDA

1. Welcome

Apologies: 

  • Annebeth Lange
  • Jaap Akkerhuis
  • Laura Hutchinson

2. Re-cap of Dublin and reminder of work plan until Marrakech

  • Circulation of survey questions

First time out send late August

Reminders send. Last group was approached after the Dublin meeting. In person and generic reminders

During Dublin and since, 5 comments received, from various communities

Goal is to have internal views and circulate prior to Marrakesh


Co-chair proposal:

Send out as prelimanry report also include section around methodology.

Comment: bundling together work on two and three letter codes, and then seek feed-back.

Recognition major issue is country names, but before handling it send out prelimenary report to show methodology


3. Letter from Thomas Schneider, GAC Chair

Background; ccNSO and GNSO chairs informed about concern of potetial overlap between work Geographic names and CTN WG. Positive:Issue identified, awareness has been raised 


Interpretation of letter response: Mandate of CTN is ISO 3166 list. GAC WG will focus on other Geographic names.  

Limited to ISO 3166.  does that include names of countries? Names in different languages? 

Interpretation: Includes names as on ISO list Paul S: Does not read it as limiting or intentionally. Work deriving from ISO 3166

Suggests to park the issue until such time it hits that point ( around Marrakesh meeting), after dealing with 3 letter codes.

Heather F. Concern: There are two groups on geographic names -> may result in different definitions. Deal with concern going forward. Clarity needed for future applicants.


Other Questions?

Cheryl: GAC's own work will proceed at its own pace. At th etime the work of GAC moves forward  CTN will be able to negotiate mutually agreed terminology. It is early days of the GAC group.

Paul S: Potential risk recognised by both CTN and GAC and hence potential to mitigate, as result of letter. 


4. Confirm and Discuss input received on 3-character codes

Heather: 

Comments received to date . ( 5 ), including from two law-firms

ccTLD submissions to follow. Question: Does response need to be official? Official letter not needed, Seeeking input at this time.

Time to digest the input received


5. Next steps in tabulating community input received to-date

Lesson learned: Strategy on how to seek response: create a kind format. Challanges on input

Next step; How to deal with comments, taking into account variety of format. How to deal woth it

Carlos: Background paper and two-letter paper.

In seeking public comment and working move forward on straw man.

Use methodology of two-letter code


Lars suggestion:  Possibility creating sub-groups, staff could make a summary,  Check by group. Bring in comments as much as possible.


Carlos: Include comments in paper. Include as annexes/ Appendices. Need to maintain original source

By and large responses with rationale. Create overview and cluster reasoning.

CTN members to look at comments recevied and then discussion on how to include them.

Discuss formal methodology at that time, and document it.


Cheryl: Community expectation some form of archive how CTN has dealt with comment.

Template approach used by CWG and CCWG

Recommend on how to use column approach. Bring out rationale
