RE: [jig] Moving forward & restarting Biweekly call

Sure, those timelines are initial proposals, and would depend very much on
the progress that we could achieve.

One of the items to be discussed is precisely the timeframe, including those
for public comment periods.

Edmon, All,

 

I applaud your desire to get things moving but unfortunately, in the cc
world, because this time of year is vacation time for many in Europe, the
dates you have suggested won't work. 

 

Bart, I wonder if you and Gabi could discuss with Edmon a slightly slower
time table that will enable us to ensure that our cc colleagues are fully
participating in the various public comment periods. 


Cheers,

Hi Everyone,

Thanks again to everyone for taking their time on such an early schedule for
the face-to-face meeting at ICANN Brussels.  I think the meeting was quite
fruitful, and especial thanks to Tina for completing the briefing from the
IDN Implementation Working Team for this group on the 2 issues.  With which,
we can get started with our discussions building on the results.

As discussed in our face-to-face meeting, I think it makes sense to split
out the 2 issues and to discuss them one at a time.  Since the Single
Character IDN TLD issue seems to have better clarity, in favour of shortest
processing time, I think we can tackle that item first, and then move on to
discuss the IDN TLD Variant issue.

In terms of process going forward, I would suggest the following targets:

For Single Character IDN TLD:
- July 2010: Compile Initial Report
        - Which would contain a background of the issue
        - The stocktaking of issues of potential policy implications (and
open it for comment and addition from community)
        - Some preliminary viewpoints from the group (so that we can obtain
comment from the community)
- End of July 2010: Publish Initial Report for public comments
- August 2010: Compile Final Report based on public comments received
- September 2010: Submit report back to respective councils for
consideration

For IDN TLD Variant:
- August 2010 (During the public comment period for the Single Character IDN
TLD Initial Report): Start stocktaking of policy issues, along with
background materials and definition.  Thereupon decide further on a
reasonable schedule going forward.

For Universal Acceptance of IDN TLDs:
- I wonder if anyone from ICANN Staff can help provide us a briefing on the
progress/status of the program developed for ASCII gTLDs:
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/TLD-acceptance/
        - who is working on it?
        - has the program been useful?
        - what has worked and what has not worked in the past?
        - how can we improve it / add IDN TLDs to it?
        - how can we broaden the outreach for it?
        - (the last 2 may essentially be what this group would further
discuss on, but would be good to get some thoughts from staff as well if
possible)

Also as discussed, will look to continue with our biweekly conference calls
starting July 6.
Jian and I will draft a document for consideration regarding the Single
Character IDN TLD issue shortly so we can get the discussions started online
and then at our July 6 meeting.

Gabi/Gisella,
Please help setup the call and send notice out.  Thanks in advance. :-)

Edmon
