Dear all, We have some work to do: They wrote us on behalf of the GNSO IDNs EPDP Working Group (WG) that is tasked with providing the GNSO Council with policy recommendations on: 1) the definition of gTLDs and the management of variant labels; and 2) how the IDN Implementation Guidelines, which Contracted Parties are required to comply with, should be updated in the future. The scope of work is defined in a series of questions contained in the IDNs EPDP Charter and the WG is seeking input on these questions that are organized under the following seven topic areas: A. Consistent definition and technical utilization of RZ-LGR B. “Same entity” at the top-level C. “Same entity” at the second-level D. Adjustments in registry agreement, registry service, registry transition process, and other processes/procedures related to the domain name lifecycle E. Adjustments to objection process, string similarity review, string contention resolution, reserved strings, and other policies and procedures F. Adjustments in registration dispute resolution procedures and trademark protection mechanisms G. Process to update the IDN Implementation Guidelines *The questions are expressed more thoroughly, with background information in the attachment of the forwarded message.* Please raise any of the issues you encounter while going through the document and we can discuss those together.

Fwd: [liaison6c] **REMINDER! DEADLINE APPROACHING - Accuracy Scoping Team - Call to Appoint Members
by Raoul Plommer Aug. 18, 2021

Aug. 18, 2021

Dear members, I think we already put Juan's name forward to this effort but it now seems that we could have another participant in the Accuracy Scoping Team. Any volunteers? :) -Raoul ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Julie Bisland via liaison6c <liaison6c(a)gnso.icann.org> Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2021 at 17:53 Subject: [liaison6c] **REMINDER! DEADLINE APPROACHING - Accuracy Scoping Team - Call to Appoint Members To: liaison6c(a)gnso.icann.org <liaison6c(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: gnso-secs(a)icann.org <gnso-secs(a)icann.org> Dear GNSO Stakeholder Groups, GNSO Constituencies, ICANN Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees, I am following up on the previous message in November 2020 seeking your group’s interest in participating in a scoping team to address the topic of accuracy. Several of you responded expressing your group’s interest as well as putting forward specific names that would represent your group in such an effort, for which I would like to express my appreciation. I know some time has passed since, but the GNSO Council took the necessary time to further develop and agree on the instructions for the scoping team. As you may be aware, the Council formally adopted the formation of and instructions to the Accuracy Scoping Team during its meeting on 22 July 2021 (see https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/registrat… [gnso.icann.org] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…>). As a result, I am now reaching out to you to ask you to (again) confirm your interest in participating, and if so, to confirm your representatives to this effort. The composition of the scoping team is as follows: Each interested Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee, GNSO Constituency and Stakeholder Group Up to two members Registrar Stakeholder Group Up to three members Registry Stakeholder Group Up to three members The work assigned to the scoping team requires a breadth of experience, skill sets and talents. Representatives are expected to possess a mix of quantitative skills, experience, privacy legislation acumen, data quality expertise, ICANN contract knowledge, and policy perspectives. As you consider which members to assign to this effort, please make sure to review the instructions [gnso.icann.org] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/…> to the Scoping Team. As a reminder, this effort is about scoping the issue and identifying potential follow up work – it is not about developing policy recommendations. Please note that although the work of the scoping team is not expected to commence its work until the EPDP Phase 2A delivers its Final Report to the GNSO Council (currently scheduled for end of August 2021), we would like to request you to confirm your members by 25 August at the latest so that the group can hopefully make a running start. In the meantime, the Council will also start a search for a Chair for this effort so please look out for that announcement as well. Best regards, Philippe Fouquart GNSO Chair _______________________________________________ liaison6c mailing list liaison6c(a)gnso.icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/liaison6c _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.
