Bruce,

Further to our recent telephone conversation I confirm that the ccNSO
and the GAC is setting up a joint working group to work on ccTLD IDNs.
We would like to invite 1 representative of the gNSO to be an observer
on that group. I'd be grateful if you would consult with your colleagues
and let me know if you would like to appoint an observer and if so who.

Cheers, 

 

Chris Disspain, chair, ccNSO
