[council] Nominet consultation paper on IDN's

[tony.ar.holmes at bt.com]

Bruce
I also support Marilyn's proposal for cross SO consultation, and sooner
rather than later. Most people are probably already aware that the ITU
(SG17) are already starting work on IDNs, fuelled by recent input from
the Polish Registry. The nature and scope of that work is still under
discussion, but if we don't get to grips with the related policy work on
IDNs in ICANN, it's more than likely it will quickly spill over into
this activity.

That wouldn't be helpful on any front!

Regards

Tony

Thanks, Bruce. I would appreciate having any other relevant documents as
fellow Councilors are aware of them. I wonder if we might not benefit
from a
cross SO consultation and discussion on this important topic, with our
"sister" SO, the ccNSO. We have before us the question of working across
the
SOs on relevant policy issues. Clearly, the IDN issue is a primary
candidate
for such a discussion.

Hello All,

Given the recent discussion on IDN's by the ICANN Board and on the GNSO
Council, Council members may be interested in this consultation paper
from Nominet (operator of .co.uk).
