[gnso-idncctlds-wg] Proposed Additional Draft Language

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As promised in today's meeting, here is my suggestion for additional
wording on page 3, question d) under major question 'Which 'territories'
are eligible for an IDN ccTLD?'  For ease of seeing the context,I copied
question d) and the already agreed to GNSO response.  My suggested added
wording is in blue font.
 
d) Should anything be done about ccTLDs already being used as gTLDs?

GNSO response:  This seems to be an issue of primary concern for the
governments associated with individual ccTLDs.  If it is agreed that the
associated governments should have sovereign control over their ccTLDs,
then it seems to follow that they should be the ones to decide how to
use their ccTLD.  In that regard though, it seems appropriate that any
IDN ccTLDs added should be done for the sole purpose of benefiting the
applicable local ccTLD language community (or language communities as
applicable).   For example, for fictitious ASCII ccTLD .xi serving a
territory called Island X, an IDN ccTLD for .xi should only be added
using a specific script that is used by an Island X language community
and the purpose of that ccTLD should be to serve members of that
particular language community on Island X as well as any of its members
that may be located elsewhere in the world; an IDN ccTLD for .xi should
not be added to serve a generic global purpose, i.e., making it a
defacto gTLD.

Please feel free to openly critique this suggested wording on the list.
