[council] Some initial reactions from the ccNSO on the GNSO's message to Board regarding IDN TLDs

[Denise Michel]

For those unable to listen to the ccNSO Council meeting recording,
here is a brief summary of the results.  (Although I was cut-off a few
times and missed parts of the discussion, I can confirm the final results):

The ccNSO Council voted to send a letter to the Board regarding the
GNSO's request for a joint working group to address additional IDN
issues.  The letter is expected to reflect the following:

- The ccNSO will move forward with work on the fast track and the
ccPDP and clarify the scope of the ccPDP, which will address some of
the points raised by the GNSO;
- The ccNSO will invite the GNSO Council to meet with ccNSO Council in
Delhi to discuss issues raised by the GNSO and the GNSO's request for
a joint working group, explain the scope of the IDN ccPDP, and discuss
potential  paths forward;
- The ccNSO does not agree to formation of a joint working group as
suggested by the GNSO in its letter to the Board;
- The ccNSO believes that the questions raised by the GNSO in its
letter to the Board can only be fully addressed through a PDP (which
would take much longer than 120 days).

Regards,
Denise
