<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Dear GNSO Council Members,<br>
<br>
On behalf of the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG), please find attached its Final Report for GNSO Council consideration. The report was agreed to by rough consensus according to the IRD-WG Charter with two-thirds of the members agreeing with the report and no members disagreeing with it. See the details below. Please note that since this is a joint working group established by the GNSO and the SSAC, the attached report also is being sent today to the SSAC for consideration.<br>
<br>
In addition, please note that prior to this Final Report the IRD-WG published a draft Final Report for public comment for 45 days on 03 October 2011 at: <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/ird-draft-final-report-03oct11-en.htm">http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/ird-draft-final-report-03oct11-en.htm</a> and presented the draft report at the ICANN meeting in Dakar. The IRD-WG analyzed the comments received in the forum and addressed them in its Report of Public Comments at: <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/report-comments-ird-draft-final-report-28feb12-en.pdf">http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/report-comments-ird-draft-final-report-28feb12-en.pdf</a>. The comments resulted in minor and non-substantive changes to the final report.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions that I can convey to the IRD-WG members as you consider this report.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
<br>
Julie<br>
