[gnso-idng] IDNG WG Charter

["Edmon Chung" <edmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

This is a separate thread from the JIG (Joint IDN Group) as described in the 
Sydney recap sent earlier.

Attached please find a largely readjusted IDNG WG charter, with the following 
key changes:
1. That the purpose be to identify feasible mechanisms to minimize the 
disparity of the timing between the introduction of new IDN ccTLDs and new IDN 
gTLDs into the root
2. One of the possibilities being an IDN gTLD Fast Track
3. Adding that IF an IDN gTLD Fast Track would be considered, that outreach 
efforts be included, that it should be considered only if the new gTLD process 
is to be further delayed, and that it should be implemented only if there would 
be a significant time difference between the IDN gTLD Fast Track and the full 
New gTLD process.
4. That the WG be a GNSO WG to begin with and would seek council's request to 
the ICANN board only if the WG later believes it is required.

Looking forward to comments and thoughts.

Edmon
