- FYI - Public Comment on Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Implementation Guidelines
by Steve Chan March 8, 2017

March 8, 2017

Dear WT4 Members, I have received a note from Sarmad Hussain, ICANN’s IDN Program Director, seeking to draw our attention to a public comment announcement: “The Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Implementation Guidelines relate to the IDN registration policies and practices, designed to minimize the risk of cybersquatting and consumer confusion, to cater to the interests of communities using local languages and scripts. These guidelines are applicable to gTLD registries and registrars offering IDNs at the second level, and recommended for IDN ccTLDs. Following the Call for Community Experts, a Working Group (WG) was formed in Oct. 2015 to review the current version (3.0) of the IDN Implementation Guidelines, last updated in 2011. The WG has finalized its work and solicits feedback of the community on the IDN Implementation Guidelines 4.0, the proposed update to the current Guidelines. The direct link to the public comment is https://www.icann.org/public-comments/idn-guidelines-2017-03-03-en. The WG has also organized a detailed session on these guidelines at ICANN 58: see https://schedule.icann.org/event/9nmh/icann-gdd-idn-implementation-guidelin… While these guidelines are certainly relevant to existing registry operators that offer, or intend to offer, IDNs, staff and leadership thought it may also be relevant to WT4. These guidelines have been in development for some time now and we encourage you to review version 4.0.

Letter from Akram to New gTLD Applications for .HOME, .CORP, and .MAIL
by Martin Sutton March 7, 2017

March 7, 2017

Hi all, My apologies for not being able to make yesterdays WT4 meeting. As part of the groups discussions on name collisions, the following letter from Akram to applicants of .home, .corp and .mail may be of interest. It doesn’t say much other than the Board continues to review this but they remain in limbo for now - https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/atallah-to-home-regist…: Thank you for your letter of 24 August 2016, regarding name collisions and their impact on the new gTLD applications for .HOME, .CORP, and .MAIL.1 As you are aware, on 30 July 2014, the ICANN Board New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC) adopted the “Name Collision Occurrence Management Framework” and indefinitely deferred the delegation of the strings identified within the framework as high risk (.HOME, .CORP, and .MAIL).2 The applications for these strings have been “On-Hold” as a result of this resolution since 2014. We acknowledge your request that the “Board take formal action to commission an examination of mitigation measures that will enable the release of .HOME, .CORP, and .MAIL.” Please note that the topic of name collision continues to be considered by the ICANN Board. For updates regarding Board activity, please visit the 2017 Board Meetings page on the ICANN website (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/2017-board-meetings) We will update affected applicants if there is activity that directly impacts their application. Please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of Global Domains Division leadership with any questions. Martin Sutton Executive Director Brand Registry Group martin(a)brandregistrygroup.org<mailto:martin@brandregistrygroup.org>

Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Action Items/Discussion Notes 06 March 1. Full WG Update -- short update -- Call later today at 20:00 UTC to finish going over the first reading of the CC2 questions. Also a full group call tomorrow at 20:00 UTC. -- Public comment will go through the month of April. -- Also Work Track 3 call tomorrow at 1500 UTC. 2. Name Collisions in Legacy gTLDs -- Not related to collisions in future TLDs, but in already delegated TLDs (Slide 6) Situation 1: use of a previously unregistered domain and Situation 2: use of DNS suffix list Work Track discussion: -- One option: Contracted Parties should be forced or could be allowed to take collision domains away from users. Or could provide a contractual option for how to deal with a collision. -- Second option: Agree or disagree with this statement? "Possible threats do not warrant policy changes." -- When we say no policy changes, we currently have no policy -- correct? So we accept the policy NGPC? Yes, the status quo. -- Agree that there is no policy, but allow expedited requests at registrar's discretion. -- So we specifically say that we do not bring forward the NGPC policy from the previous round. >From the chat: Jeff Neuman: By policy changes, are we saying the policy as promulgated by the NGPC Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: status quo Jeff Neuman: the burden right now to take down a site because of a collission is pretty high. To anyone's knowledge has any name actually been taken down. Dietmar Lenden - Valideus Ltd: not aware of any names being taken down (at least not publically mentioned). Situation 3: Previously registered domain (slide 7) Work Track Discussion: -- Expired Domain Deletion and Expired Registration Recovery policies should be revised - or - possible threats do not warrant policy changes. >From the chat: Jeff Neuman: Should we cover the final recommendations of the JAS report? I think we have had several decades of living with expired domain deletions and expired registrations without much data on name collision causing any significant issues. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: indeed Jeff. Jeff Neuman: So given that, I agree that no policy changes at this time from us are warranted. Dietmar Lenden - Valideus Ltd: +1 Jeff. Edmon: i feel perhaps we should say this is not a new gTLD specific issue, rather than we have no view. Trang Nguyen: I don't. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: Edmon, recommendation that we do not see the current need for Policy Development, but rather to continue with the status quo, is not "no opinion" IMO, but yes we could note that this is not specifically a *New* gTLD issue. Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO) 2: sorry "no view" (different situation from the 2012 round -- and discussion below). Edmon: thanks for the clarification cheryl 3. Name collisions in 2012 Round gTLDs -- Name collision framework in 2012 round (slide 9) -- Required to pass a controlled interruption period and be able to respond within two hours for life-threatening collision reports, for the first two years of delegation. -- Current number of collision reports is XXX occurrences report to ICANN, of which 0 were life-threatening. Work Track Discussion: -- 2012 round registries should extend such support beyond the 2-year period - or - occurrence experience does not warrant creation of policy to override what is in the agreements. [Three WT members agreeing with the second option -- no new policy.] -- Continue discussion on the mailing list. 4. Currently ongoing consensus calls and discussion themes (slides 10-16) -- Review and continue discussion in Copenhagen.
