[council] Revised draft Terms of Reference for IDN policy

[GNSO.SECRETARIAT@GNSO.ICANN.ORG]

[To:council[at]gnso.icann.org]

The revised draft Terms of Reference for IDN policy development 
activities has been posted in preparation for the GNSO Council meeting 
on 19 October 2006.

See: http://gnso.icann.org/issues/idn-tlds/

http://gnso.icann.org/issues/idn-tlds/idn_tor_draft-12oct06.htm

This relates to Item 5:
Next steps with respect to IDNs
- Olof Nordling to identify issues that require resolution prior to
issuing a call for new gTLDs that use IDN domains, and propose a
possible new terms of reference

- Consider whether to address terms of reference via a separate PDP, or
initially use a working group approach

Note the GNSO Council did form a working group to review the issues
report in May 2006, see:
http://www.gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-18may06.shtml and this
working group could be re-formed to focus on a few issues in
collaboration with the ccNSO.

Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
