including the de-selection of IDN ccTLD strings. In January 2020, the ccNSO Council requested an Issue Report. In May 2020, after the Issue Report was submitted to Council, including the opinion of ICANN’s General Counsel, the ccNSO Council initiated the
ccNSO Policy Development Process 4 to develop policy for the (de-)selection of IDN ccTLD strings. In addition, it was proposed to conduct ccPDP4 by way of a chartered working group, according to the proposed timeline.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
