Whereas there have been requests for a list where a public discussion of
IDN issues facing the GNSO can be discussed by stakeholders and
constituency members,

Resolved that a trial of an IDN discussion list will be created on the
following basis:

- The purpose of the list is to allow public discussion of issues
regarding the creation of IDN TLDs in ICANN namespace

- The Chair of the GNSO council and other volunteers will be responsible
for monitoring the list and for administering any rules as required.

- Membership requests for the list will be reviewed by the list
moderators on the following basis
   - Membership in the list will be open to any ICANN participant who
has not been removed from any other ICANN list in the last 6 months.
   - All potential participants will be required to submit a statement
of interest regarding their participation in the list prior to their
subscription to the list.  All such statements will be sent to the list
by the moderators upon enrollment.

-The List Moderators will be responsible for administering the following
rules:
   - Participants on the list must restrict themselves to on topic
postings.
   - Participants must not engage in personal attacks on others
   - Participants must follow generally established rules of netiquette.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette
and the references in that article will be used by the list monitors as
a reference if required.
   - The moderators will give a transgressor one private and then one
public warning of any breach of netiquette, after which time a further
breach will enable expulsion from the list.  Any such warning or
expulsion by the moderators must be explicit in terms of what rules of
email list behavior have been breached.
   - A participant who is expelled from the list may apply for
reinstatement after 6 months.
     It will be up to the moderators whether the applicant will be
re-enrolled

- While GNSO council members are encouraged to participate in the
conversations on the IDN discussion list, there will be no obligation
for any council member or the council itself to take specific action on
any recommendation made on that list.  Any question directed at the
council will be handled by the list moderators, with council
consultation when necessary.

- The charter for the IDN discussion list will be reviewed 6 months
after creation of the list
