Hi, Cheryl. The recommendations are very comprehensive in the sense that it covers the entire process of IDNccTLD application and approval. This is excellent and should be commended. They are also drawing from past experiences with the Fast Track process, which is good. A few questions about the proposed policies: 1. Were there any sticky/contentious points in the development of the recommendations? 2. Variants are not addressed in the set of recommendations, pointing to discussions that are still ongoing, which is fine, but when the variant rules for the root zone is agreed upon, I would expect that ccTLDs would be bound by it as well as gTLDs - Any issues with raising this in the response to the document? 3. The Future Challenges WG raised the issue of the need to somehow standardize or address the issue of the diversity of ccTLD practices using ICANN's gTLD best practices etc - Perhaps this is another opportunity to raise the issue. Any thoughts on this matter? 4. The final recommendation regarding the Permanent IDNccTLD Advisory Panel calls for 1 representative from the ALAC, 2 from GAC and ccNSO respectively, and 1 from SSAC (I see a mirror of Board representation here). What about the criteria in terms of qualification or expertise level of the representatives? Were there any discussions on this? Was it the default position that it should be left to the respective bodies to determine? Best regards, Rinalia On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 11:24 AM, Cheryl Langdon-Orr <langdonorr@gmail.com>wrote:
