We are at the stage of discussing options on how to proceed, so we are sort of "whiteboarding" are we not?

I recall that within ATT, we often did series of feasibility tests, and took the learning and did more, different such tests. I am comfortable with "tests" and perhaps the assurances that "tests" aka trials, are for informing, recognizing that the policy questions are myriad, and that we need to run in an interactive and collegial approach, with sharing all ways, then we can agree that the gNSO Councilors can support the trial (s). What I need is assurance that we are going to define the resources we need to fully do our parts, along with others, of course. 

So, I support the "tests" aka trials.

And very good information cross pollination. 

So, thanks for all the participation with the councilors on this topic, to our guests and also to Tina., in helping to build our understanding. .

  
Regards,
Marilyn Cade

I support the technical trial.

The more options available to an existing or new TLD operator the better 
for now.
(note that you can achieve a similar result as DNAMES with NS records at
the provisioning layer - ie a single registry database can populate two
zonefiles).

Likewise from a policy point of view - now is the time to identify some 
options and issues.
In general we should not restrict options unless there is an security or
stability issue with implementing a particular option.

In contrast we could begin to create some initial policies that allows 
us to move forward with the initial introduction of IDNs where some of
the choices are initially limited, much as we did with the initial
introduction of new gTLDs.
