Hi Maxim,

I think there seems to be a disagreement on whether the IDN Implementation Guidelines (IDNG) is already GNSO Policy.
As I mentioned earlier, because it was specifically called out in the GNSO policy recommendation in 2007 (https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm recommendation 18), I believe the IDNG is part of an existing GNSO policy.  So I do not believe it is correct to say we are putting implementation before policy.

What was not considered previously, and what has now become apparent is that how the IDNG gets updated is of importance.  Therefore we are including that in Track 2.

If you disagree that IDNG itself is already part of GNSO Policy, then I can understand your logic.  But I think it is not a correct understanding.

Let me suggest the following:

==============================
The team recommends two separate but interconnected work tracks to carry out the GNSO policy work related to IDN variants and IDN Implementation Guidelines (there is a minority view that the IDN Implementation Guidelines is not already GNSO policy and therefore any discussion on implementation, i.e. Operational Track 1, should only be pursued):
==============================

And then to also add the following in Page 3 right at the end of the 2nd paragraph "The guidelines were originally developed by...":

==============================
The IDN Implementation Guidelines were specifically included as Recommendation 18 in the Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains Final Report https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm
==============================

Would that work for you?

Edmon

Edmon, 

Do we understand why we should suggest implementation before the policy? 

There is no way to properly consider the matters without a review. 

If we insist that the order of the streams should be left as is,  please change The team to 'some team members', and add that there is a minority view to make the implementation only after the policy work.

>2.      Review of new Issue Scoping Document here:

>- Purpose of this document is to explore whether or not there is
>sufficient background documentation and analysis to serve as a proxy
>for an Issue Report, which could make an EPDP make some sense
>
>- There is also the existing work on IDN variants taking place in
>SubPro
>
>- Document is structured similarly to the substantive part of an Issue
>Report and make sure that all of the required elements are present.
>
>- First part is about identifying the problems that need to be solved,
>which in this case come from the Board resolution (e.g., RZ-LGR must be
>the only source and that policies should be developed to manage IDN
>variant TLDs for current and future gTLDs).
>
>- Also notes that coordination with ccNSO is needed and GNSO concerns
>about the process by which the IDN Guidelines are updated from version
>to version.
>
>- Second section identifies the list of relevant documentation. There
>is also, by reference, a comprehensive list of documents related to IDN
>variants.
>
> 
>
>ACTION – Add SAC060 and SAC052 to the list of documents
>
> 
>
>- The list is not intended to limit what a PDP may consider, in the
>event something relevant arises later.
>
>- Third part of the document is about the issues and questions a PDP
>should consider and address. Firstly, broken down into the two
>challenges. Lists out the recommendations from the staff report.
>
>- Also lists out questions from the staff report where there may be
>policy implications. This list is captured verbatim from the staff
>paper.
>
>- The Council did not specifically request a charter from the IDN
>Scoping team
>
>- There was not a specific time frame dictated by the Council, but
>there is an expectation that the scoping team will provide its
>recommendations prior to the end of the year. Concerns expressed from
>Maxim about the time constraint.

>3.      After discussing agenda item 2, revisiting the options paper:

>
>- In light of the previous discussion about what could be in an issue
>report, based on existing materials and analysis, what option makes the
>most sense?
>
>- Option A is to leverage existing PDPs (i.e., SubPro and RPMs), Option
>B is to separate new gTLDs versus existing gTLDs, Option C is a PDP or
>EPDP, Option D is an expert working group.
>
>- Maxim indicates that there is not support from the entire group to
>for an EPDP, suggestion that he should indicate why he oppose, what he
>prefers, and why. Also indicates that GNSO should not feel obligated to
>follow pace of ccNSO.
>
> 
>
>ACTION – Edmon to determine if he feels like he can make an assessment
>as to which Option the scoping team supports to recommend to the GNSO
>Council. If he is able, he will provide his assessment to the email
>list for input.
>
> 
>
>- Maxim notes that some believe that the set of documents is not
>holistic and that further analysis is needed.
