[council] Update on JIG Report on Universal Acceptance

[Mary Wong]

Dear all,

During the ICANN meeting in London, a small group of GNSO Council and
community members met with the ICANN Board¹s IDN Variant Working Group and
ICANN operational staff working on ICANN¹s IDN Variant Program. Staff were
asked for an update on progress with implementing the recommendations made
by the Joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG). Attached please find a
progress report from the IDN Variant Program staff, highlighting in
particular the recent publication by ICANN of a proposed initial Roadmap for
Universal Acceptance.

The reply comment period for the Roadmap is open till 8 August, and GNSO
community members and groups are encouraged to put in your comments so that
further concrete processes and proposals for achieving universal acceptance
of all TLDs (including IDNs) can be put in place:
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/tld-acceptance-initiative-2014-06-18-e
n

We will provide additional requested updates as we receive them, and the IDN
Variant Program staff will also be providing its regular update to the GNSO
at the LA meeting in October.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
