RE: [ccnso-idncctld] Edits to Principle E

["Manal Ismail" <manal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Edmon ..
Dear Colleagues ..
 
I'm afraid I can't agree to the below suggested edits ..
If both committees (technical and linguistic) are not sufficient to address and 
maintain security and stability requirements then we must think of a third 
commitee to do so .. I agree with you on the importance of the topic and think 
we cannot leave this simply to voluntary comments by unidentified stakeholders 
..
 
This is of course in addition to to my complete objection to the following part:
"This should be evidenced by the support/endorsement of the relevant 
stakeholders that the selected string is a meaningful representation of the 
name of the territory and that the security and the stability for the Internet 
community is maintained."
 
which indicates that 'relevant stakeholders'!! should support that the selected 
string is a meaningful representation of the name of the territoty.
 
Kind Regards
Manal

Subject: [ccnso-idncctld] Edits to Principle E




Hi everyone,

To avoid the confusion from my more lengthy email previously, please find my
suggested edits to Principle E:

--------------------------------------------

E. The IDN ccTLD for Fast Track should be non-contentious within the
territory.

Delegation of an IDN ccTLD should only be possible in the Fast Track where
the designation of the selected delegate is non-contentious within the
territory.  This should be evidenced by the support/endorsement of the
relevant stakeholders in the territory for the selected delegate.  The IDN
ccTLD string proposed should be non-contentious within the territory, and
should be non-contentious for the security and stability of the Internet.
This should be evidenced by the support/endorsement of the relevant
stakeholders that the selected string is a meaningful representation of the
name of the territory and that the security and the stability for the
Internet community is maintained.

--------------------------------------------

I think it is very important that we address the issue of maintaining the
security and stability in our "guiding principles" section.  Right now none
of the principles address that point.  Even though further in our process,
we have addressed it with the 2 committees, it is I think important that we
address the issue as a guiding principle.

What the above also does is decouple the delegation of a Fast Track IDN
ccTLD and the selection of the IDN ccTLD string for the Fast Track.  I
personally believe they are 2 distinct things even though could be done in
parallel.

If there is no objection to the above, I would like to update the current
wording to show our commitment to maintaining the security and stability of
the Internet along with non-contentiousness, which are both, in my mind,
pillar criteria as laid out in the IDNC WG charter.
