Dear IDN-WG colleagues, Some of you will know that the At-Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) is in the process of reviewing the anticipated recommendations (also affirmations and implementation guidance where available) of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG ahead of the release of its draft final report later this year. The process adopted by CPWG is to review a series of At-Large preliminary scorecards on various topics of high and medium priority from the end-users' perspective. It was agreed that assistance be sought from members of the IDN-WG on the preliminary scorecards for Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain Names, as both areas are considered key foci for the IDN-WG, given the expertise and interest of its membership. Thus, please find for comments the following: - Universal Acceptance draft preliminary scorecard as at 16 Feb 2020 <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/111390697/03.%20DRAFT%20At-...> (contains draft SubPro WG affirmations, recommendations & implementation guidelines) - Internationalized Domain Names draft preliminary scorecard as at 16 Feb 2020 <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/111390697/02.%20DRAFT%20At-...> Please bear in mind that while we welcome comments in general, the CPWG Small Team working to finalize and consolidate the scorecards in due course will attempt to do so by considering feedback which ought to be taken up (or re-taken up, as the case may be) versus which might be omitted. The format of the preliminary scorecards provide an idea on the Small Team's approach. We also suggest that you peruse the presentation <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/111390697/01.%20SubPro%20ID...> setting out the status of SubPro WG deliberations against the ALAC's last public comment input as at 26 August 2019. Perhaps some consideration for these preliminary scorecards can factored into any planned face-to-face meeting at ICANN67.
