Dear All, Thank you to those who attended the three-hour long call on 5 October. We were able to complete the first pass and do a whole second pass on the guidelines, to finalize the document. The call recording is available at https://community.icann.org/display/IDN/IDN+Implementation+Guidelines. (please note that because we deleted guideline 5, the guideline numbers are readjusted accordingly in the updated version attached and will not match with those called out in the recording) As discussed, please find attached an updated redline version of the document, in which older changes and comments have been accepted and only changes in the recent meeting are now reflected for easier review. In addition a clean version of the same version is also generated. Both versions are attached in docx and pdf formats. Please read through these changes and share any final feedback over email. We will finalize these revisions in the next call and then share the updated version with the community before ICANN 60. Thank you again for all the hard work over the past many months. This work will be really beneficial in the implementation of IDNs.
