Dear NPOC Community,
On this mail I am sending to you some of Public Comments currently opened to make comments, suggestions and observations on the following topics:
Final Report from the EPDP on Specific Curative Rights Protections for IGOs:This is the final stage of this EPDP and is looking comments about "IGO Complainiant" definition to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution (UDRP) and Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) to clarify the applicability of the dispute resolution mechanisms to IGO for demonstraste legal rights. Also there was an addition about voluntary mutial arbitration option on both processess.
This process comes from April 2019 where those recommendations from PDP about curative rights mechanisms were raised by IGOs and International non-governmental organizations. This recommendation was not approved by the GNSO Council and this effort was created to look for a solution oh thisissue.
You can find the final report on the following link:

I think this is relevant to our constituency and we could comment on this if we consider it relevant.
Draft FY24–28 Operating & Financial Plan and Draft FY24 Operating Plan & BudgetThis topic is more operation than policy but the decisions made on the budget can affect us in any way due to is the feedbak about Financial Plan and Operating Plan.

Additional Script-Based Reference Label Generation Rules and Related Updates This comment is more technical but could be interesting for those who are working on IDN WG because this Reference guide include script-based languages such as Armenian, Cyrilic, Greek, Latin, Japanese, Korean and Myanmar. There are some changes to another Label Generation Rules (LGR)
