Upcoming Public Comment Proceedings

Improved GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charter Amendment Process OFB-WG

The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) charter revision process has been updated to reflect the continuous evolution of the ICANN community, ongoing implementation of Specific Review recommendations, and the review role of ICANN Board. These improvements will streamline charter revisions and allow GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to continue their focus on policy development.


Technical Check Review CPWG

For IANA-managed zones, most notably for the root zone, a suite of technical conformance tests are conducted as part of the process of evaluating change requests. IANA expects to conduct a general community consultation on the scope and definition of these tests to inform future evolution of its operational practices. The current tests were defined based on a prior community engagement exercise.


No proceedings scheduled.

NCAP Study 2 Draft Report CPWG

This Public Comment proceeding is to seek input on the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) Study 2 draft report. The NCAP Discussion Group will consider the results of the Public Comment and produce a final report.


Initial Report: ccNSO Policy Development Process on the Selection of IDN ccTLDs CPWG

The ccNSO, through its policy development process, is developing a policy on the selection of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) country code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs). The working group responsible for proposing such policy will be seeking community feedback and comments on its initial proposals for the proposed selection criteria, requirements, and related process. In time, this policy will replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process.

Initial Report of EPDP on Internationalized Domain Names CPWG

This Public Comment proceeding seeks input on the EPDP Team's proposed recommendations regarding the definition and variant label management mechanism of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).


NomComRIWG Proposed Changes to Bylaws and Standing Committee Charter OFB-WG

Four (4) recommendations from the Nominating Committee Review require amendments to the ICANN Bylaws.

Note: NomComRIWG is the Nominating Committee Review Implementation Working Group.
