RE: [gnso-idng] reporting back to the council

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Edmon.  I am good with the draft, but wonder if we have consensus to go 
one step further and make a recommendation to Council, asking Council to ask 
Staff to revise the DAG to clarify that multiple 'confusingly similar' 
applications by the same applicant would not contend with one another.  I 
support that recommendation, and wonder whether there is any opposition in this 
group?

Best,
Mike

Subject: [gnso-idng] reporting back to the council

Hi Everyone,

Given no further discussions on the 2 topics that were identified:

1. Application of confusingly similar TLD strings
        - there seems to be enough agreement around this topic in general
        - also attached clean version of the document

2. Process for the application of IDN gTLDs, including those identified in 1
        - there continues to be push back against having any dedicated process 
to handle special case IDN TLD applications

And given that it seems any further discussion would require the GNSO council 
to consider whether an actual working group should be formed for further work 
on 1 (if any) unless there is any particular objection, I will report the above 
back to the council.

Edmon
