Dear IGO and INGO IRT,

FYI. The Reconvened PDP WG on the Red Cross names published their initial report for public comment today.

As you know, this is will be added to the scope of the original IGO and INGO Identifiers Protection Policy that we will work to implement when adapted by the Board.

The IGO and INGO IRT has a rare opportunity here to provide comments on the policy BEFORE it gets finalized.

Please review the report and let’s discuss how the IRT might want to provide comments.

Announcement below:
