[gnso-idng] Process & Membership of IDNG WG

["Edmon Chung" <edmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With a potential (1) Purpose and (2) Scope drafted, would like to consider 2 
more things
3. Process for the development of feasible methods for fast track approach
4. Membership of the IDNG Working Group

Learning from the IDNC WG, I think we can produce 2 reports (instead of 3 -- 
the IDNC Interim/Proposed Methodology and Final Report were similar).  
Thereupon, a finalized "Final Report" could be presented for adoption by GNSO 
Council and the board.

So, for 3. Process, adjusting from the IDNC WG, the IDNG WG would produce 2 
reports:
- IDNG Initial Report
- IDNG Final Report
Each should include a public comment period.

- IDNG Initial Report
This would be a stock taking document identifying all the issues that needs to 
be taken into consideration (such as those raised by Stéphane and others), 
along with some possible options/principles for implementing an IDN gTLD Fast 
Track.

- IDNG Final Report
The Final Report should review and analyze the comments received from the 
public comment period, and develop a set of principles and procedural framework 
for implementing an IDN gTLD Fast Track. The Final Report should also take into 
consideration the then current drafts for IDN ccTLD Fast Track Implementation 
Draft and the New gTLD Applicant Guidebook to provide specific directives 
implementable by staff.


As for 4. Membership of the IDNG WG, a possible composition may be as follows:

Members of the GNSO and the GNSO Council;
Members of the GAC;
Two (2) members of the ccNSO;
Two (2) members of the At-Large and/or the ALAC;
One (1) representative of technical community;
One (1) member of the SSAC: and
Two (2) ICANN staff members.


Thoughts?
