[gnso-rn-wg] RN Working Group: follow up from 25 Jan conference call

[Liz Williams <liz.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues

I said I would provide the group with broader information that  
further explains the context of the Reserved Names Working Group's  
statement of work.
1.  The latest version of the PDP Dec 05 new TLDs Committee Report --  
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/GNSO-PDP-Dec05-FR-14Nov06.pdf.  This  
Report will be updated at the mid February meetings in Los Angeles.   
It is expected that the Report will be finalised in time for the  
Lisbon meetings.
2.  The latest version of the ICANN Staff Discussion Points -- http:// 
gnso.icann.org/drafts/GNSO-PDP-Dec05-StaffMemo-14Nov06.pdf -- which  
comments on some of the potential implementation impacts of the  
Committee's Report above.
3.  The latest version of the PDP Feb 06 draft Task Force Report --  
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/GNSO-PDP-Feb06-TFR-07nov06.pdf.  Note  
this document will be substantially updated to reflect the work of  
the Group since the Sao Paulo meeting.  An updated straw poll policy  
recommendation table has been sent to  Task Force participants  
yesterday.  Note that Terms of Reference for the PDP Dec 06 do not  
include reference to Reserved Names for existing registries.
4.  I referred to three relevant RFCs --  here is the one that is the  
most relevant for the time being.  ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/ 
rfc2606.txt.  I am putting together some historical and technical  
information about reserved names and will forward that early next week.
5.  Finally, here is the GNR proposal for the release of two letter  
names --  http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-06dec06.htm  
and here is the full set of registry services applications.  For the  
purposes of this group, the information which relates to the GNR  
proposal is the most relevant.  http://www.icann.org/registries/rsep/ 
submitted_app.html
I will forward more things as the group needs but I didn't want to  
overload the group in the first few days.
Kind regards.

Liz

PS  I understand from a one of the participants that my two year old  
helper was rather obvious -- unfortunately the call was right across  
bed time and I didn't quite manage the mute button well enough!  My  
apologies for the disruption.
