Dear All,

The announcement below has just been posted on the ccNSO website  https://ccnso.icann.org/announcements/announcement-26oct16-en.htm and via the ccNSO twitter account: https://twitter.com/ccNSO/status/791234978059255808 Feel free to share.

CWG-UCTN: Progress Report and Draft Interim Report on use of country and territory names as TLDs now available.

In preparation of the Hyderabad meeting, the Cross-Community Working Group on the Use of Country and Territory Names as TLDs (CWG-UCTN: https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-unct.htm ) has prepared two reports: a Progress report<https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-ctn-progress-25oct16-en.pdf> and its draft Interim report<https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-ctn-draft-interim-report-25oct16-en.pdf>. Based on the discussions to date, community input and the discussions in Helsinki (ICANN55), the Working Group concluded that for various reasons a harmonised framework for the use of country, territory and other geographic names is not feasible. The CWG will discuss further steps at its f-2-f meeting in Hyderabad<http://sched.co/8czS>.
