Subject:  Invite to participate in the cross-community work to working group
Framework for use of Country and Territory names as TLDs

Dear Jonathan,

On behalf of the chair ccNSO, I convey to you the ccNSO Council's invitation
to the GNSO to participate in a newly to be formed cross-community working
group Framework for use of Country and Territory names as TLDs. The ccNSO
Council would greatly appreciate if you could consider participation of the
GNSO during your upcoming meetings in Singapore, and inform us on the
outcome of your deliberations in due course.
 
The proposed draft charter for this WG is included.

This intended working group is created following the adoption of the Final
Report of the ccNSO Study Group on the use of Names of Country and
Territories, which contained the recommendation to to establish a cross
community working group to:
€Further review the current status of representations of country and
territory names, as they exist under current ICANN policies, guidelines and
procedures; 
€Provide advice regarding the feasibility of developing a consistent and
uniform definitional framework that could be applicable across the
respective SOs and ACs; and
€Should such a framework be deemed feasible, provide detailed advice as to
the content of the framework.

The Study Group also advised that, as the objective of the proposed Working
Group is considered to be of common interest to the broader community, other
Supporting Organisations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs) should be invited
to participate in the working group on equal footing, and the work should be
preferably undertaken as a collaborative effort. For this reason a similar
invitation is send to ALAC and the GAC.

The ccNSO Study group on the use of Names for Country and Territory
published its Final Report in September 2013
(http://ccnso.icann.org/node/42227 ). Members of the Study group also
included volunteers from the GNSO ( see:
http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unctwg.htm) .

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any questions,

On behalf of the chair of the ccNSO

Bart Boswinkel
