[UA-discuss] GNSO requested deferral of IDN Guidelines 4.0 Vote - CPH / Registrants impact

[Dr. Ajay Data]

ICANN Board asked the ICANN community to recommend how to technically apply the RZ-LGR in a harmonized way for existing and future IDN ccTLDs and gTLDs.

This Study Group was formed and  chaired by Dennis Tan and the document will be out soon for public comment. 

This will answer many of the doubts and queries.

Thanks
