in part to concerns around the process, as well as specific requirements within the guidelines (e.g.,“same entity” requirement on second level registrations, which are in both the guidelines and the Variant TLD Recommendations). The ICANN Board
</span><span style="color:black"><a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/chalaby-to-drazek-04jun19-en.pdf"><span style="color:#0052CC">agreed</span></a></span><span style="color:#172B4D"> to the deferral, allowing the GNSO Council additional
time to consider the matter.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="color:#172B4D">The Council convened an IDN Scoping Team, comprised of Councilors and other GNSO members, to consider the scope of issues (e.g., IDN Guidelines and IDN Variant Management
solutions) related to IDNs and accordingly, recommend a mechanism to address those issues (e.g., leverage existing PDPs, convene new PDP/EPDP, other).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="color:#172B4D">The IDN Scoping Team has thoroughly considered the scope of work that needs to be undertaken and accordingly, what mechanisms make the most sense to address. Most members
of the IDN Scoping Team believe that two tracks of work can be undertaken:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Policy Track 2: In brief, a PDP/EPDP should be initiated and would have a scope including the definitions, management, and coordination issues related to IDN Variant TLDs, as well as IDN variants at the second-level. Additionally, this track would consider
the related issue of how the IDN Implementation Guidelines, which Contracted Parties are required to comply with, should be revised in the future.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
