<div class="gmail_quote">Dear Stéphane, Councilors, </div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">I'd like to propose the following motion on initiating Issues Report on Recommendation 2 of IRD-WG Final Report. Please find the text below as well as the attached file. As mentioned previously, this Issues Report will be proceeded with focus on Recommendation 2. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">On other 3 technical related recommendations, Staff suggested that it is unlikely to commit a specific time-line for the technical development. On the other hand, the IDN gTLD applicant could be put in operational jeopardy if the community can't come up with a solution timely. Anyway, more generic wording is used in this resolution here for the purpose of informing the community that the GNSO will be ready to address the policy changes created by new technical standards / requirements. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">I'd also like to thank the Staff, especially Steve Sheng, for their input and collaboration.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">

Final Report.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">WHEREAS the GNSO Council has reviewed the
Final Report and considers that while expecting the ICANN Board to respond to
the SSAC-GNSO joint letter, the Recommendation 2, translation and
transliteration of contact information of IRD, of the Final Report requires
timely action at the policy level which involves collaboration among domain
name registrant, registrar, and registry. , </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">RESOLVED, the GNSO approves the Final
Report and requests the ICANN Staff to prepare the IRD Issues Report on
translation and transliteration of contact information (IRDIR-Rec2). The Issue
Report should consider 1) whether it is desirable to translate contact
information to a single common language or transliterate contact information to
a single common script; 2) who should bear the burden and who is in the best
position to address these issues; and 3) whether to start a policy development
process (PDP) to address those questions. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">RESOLVED FURTHER, the ICANN Staff shall provide
regular updates to the GNSO Council on relevant technical development of the IRD,
including the estimated time-line or roadmap of such technical development so
that the GNSO Council and the rest of the ICANN community, particularly the IDN
gTLD applicant, can fully prepare for implementing the IRD features in its
operation. Should there be any policy implication arising from such updates,
the GNSO Council shall, in consultation with SSAC and technical communities,
initiate separate PDP processes based on all available technical
recommendations or standards. </span></p>
