Hello All, As there are now new members on this small team, staff wanted to re-share a draft options paper that we have prepared to hopefully help kick this group off on its scoping work. We are not experts on this subject by any means, so hopefully we were able to capture the various issues properly, the requests from the Board, as well as some of the options that this group could recommend to the Council as a next step to address these issues from a substantive perspective: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o_9bfnkKufrSxiJGxpNcOcfTK2VLWp5XYQvwe5qx.... While this document was shared before, I’ve made a handful of additions in suggestion mode.

I second. My understanding, which may not be correct, is that there are several topics or streams involving IDNs that we are expected to look at. They were all lumped into one bucket, but my understanding is that they are probably better dealt with by topic or stream. Yes. Several topics; some are independent, but some intersect. For example, the management of variant domains is a common topic in the TLD framework as well as in the IDN guidelines, albeit some scope differences. The TLD framework being more detailed than the Guidelines.

Currently subscribed, we have Maxim Alzoba, Rubens Kuhl, Philippe Fouquart, Michele Neylon, Edmon Chung, Dennis Tan, as well as Keith, Pam, and Rafik from Council Leadership. Council leadership has not yet officially launched a call for non-Council volunteers (expect early next week), but you will see Edmon and Dennis have already requested to be added. It might be premature to try and identify a lead for this team, since its ranks may expand, but it may still be good to consider if any of you would like to volunteer. Michele unofficially nominated Edmon!
