                                                               i.      The definition of the label states may need to be incorporated in the recommendation language based on agreement on the glossary

 

In addition, on 16 March 2023, the ICANN Board adopted a substantial portion of the SubPro PDP Outputs. The Outputs adopted by the ICANN Board include all the IDN recommendations in Topic 25 of the SubPro PDP Final Report. See details here: https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-resolutions-regular-meeting-of-the-icann-board-16-03-2023-en. This should have minimum impact on the EPDP preliminary recommendations, as our recommendations are consistent or align with the SubPro recommendations.

 

Thank you all for your efforts for the final push. Have a nice weekend!

 

Best Regards,

Ariel
