p>At its meeting on 2 October 2007, the ccNSO Council resolved to call for
an Issue Report to examine the need
for a Policy Development Process (ccPDP) to consider:
- Whether Article IX of the ICANN bylaws applies to IDN ccTLDs associated
with the ISO 3166-1 two letter codes, and if it does not then to establish
if Article IX should apply.
- Whether the ccNSO should launch a PDP to
develop the policy for the selection and delegation of IDN ccTLDs associated
with the ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes.
The Council requested that, in preparing the Issue Report, the Issue Manager
identify policies, procedures, and/or by-laws that should be reviewed and,
as necessary revised, in connection with the development and implementation
of any IDN ccTLD policy.
The Council, also at the 2 October meeting, appointed Bart Boswinkel as Issue
Manager by the ccNSO Council, responsible for producing the Issue Report.
The ccNSO Council has asked Bart Boswinkel to consider, in preparing the
Issue Report and in proposing a time line for conducting each stage of the
ccPDP, the joint
ccNSO GAC Issues Paper,
the technical limitations and requirements including the IDNA
Guidelines,
and any other matters that the Issue Manager considers to be of relevance,
which includes the intermediate results and final outcome of the work of the
IDNC Working Group ("fast
track approach").
To identify matters that are potentially relevant to the Issues Report, a
comment period will open on 19 December 2007 and close on 25 January 2008.
Comments can be submitted via email and will be archived for public review.
The email address for comments and link to the archive will be published at
the opening of the comment period.

in the matter raised;
- Indicate why you think it is within the scope of
the questions raised by the ccNSO Council (see above) .
It would be most helpful if you also identify any relevant publicly available
documentation, for future reference.
Please note that it is not necessary at this stage to make suggestions to
resolve any issues relating to an overall policy or answer any questions. |
