<p class="MsoNormal">Dear James,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of the ccNSO Council I am sending you a letter regarding the Working Track 5.<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:gray;mso-fareast-language:LV"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By adopting the final paper published by the Cross-Community Working Group on Use of Country/Territory Names as TLDs (CCWG UCTN) the ccNSO supported the recommendation of the CCWG UCTN that further work on the development of a consistent
and uniform framework to guide the definition of rules on the use of country and territory names as top level domains, is needed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ccNSO designated Annebeth Lange, .no, to serve as a co-leader of a new Working Track 5 (WT5) within the GNSO’s New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group.
<span style="color:black">We look forward to working with the GNSO and other SO/ACs in the next effort to address the use of country and territory names as top-level domains.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, the ccNSO Council strongly believes that this effort will succeed and will be acceptable only if certain requirements are met.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
