Aug. 26, 2024

Dear IRT Members, We recently reviewed the topics of “Geographic Names” as well as “Blocked and Reserved Names” during our first IDN IRT Sub-Track call. Please see the updated language that incorporates the relevant IDN EPDP Phase 1 Recommendations: * Blocked and Reserved Names: drive<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PIazLYWOs0tJoyOqH5_mA_MAJQXoXnjteuSl4NY…>, pdf<https://community.icann.org/display/SPIR/1.+Working+Documents?preview=/3154…> * Geographic Names: drive<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XCLnbGoBkb2I8E8V5XEryKBDUpaTqZMqPSxUhtY…>, pdf<https://community.icann.org/display/SPIR/1.+Working+Documents?preview=/3154…> As we review AGB topics during the sub-track calls, I will share updated draft language with the full IRT as it becomes available.

Updated Fee FAQ
by Marika Konings Aug. 23, 2024

Aug. 23, 2024

Dear IRT, Please find attached the updated fee FAQ. Following further input from the Board, it was agreed to use the 1,500 applications scenario to set the gTLD evaluation fee. As you are aware, there are still two placeholders that need to be resolved before the final gTLD evaluation fee can be determined, namely the pending IDN EPDP Phase 1 recommendations as well as the SSAC advice on NCAP2. It is the expectation that the Board will address these two topics during its September workshop which would allow us to confirm the final gTLD evaluation fee following that. Note that in addition to confirming the 1,500 applications scenario, the FAQ also includes some further updates to address the different questions that were received during the ICANN80 sessions and/or mailing list. If there are further questions that need clarification in the FAQ, please feel free to flag those. We expect to come back to the IRT with further details once the ICANN Board has addressed the two placeholder items. Best regards, Marika
