Summary
Board expresses gratitude to IDNC Working Group for its Draft Initial Report, and to the community for its collaboration on this work.
Text
Whereas, the ICANN Board created the "IDNC Working Group" on 2 November 2007 to develop and report on feasible methods for timely introduction of a limited number of internationalised country code top-level domain names (IDN ccTLDs associated with ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes) in a manner that ensures the continued security and stability of the Internet.
Whereas, on 1 February 2008, the IDNC Working Group posted a "Discussion Draft of the Initial Report," which includes principles and methods for developing the so-called "fast-track" approach, for consideration and input from the public.
Resolved (2008.02.15.11), the Board expresses its gratitude to the IDNC Working Group for its Draft Initial Report, and to the GNSO, ccNSO, GAC, and ALAC for their ongoing collaborative efforts and commitment to recommend a course of action to the ICANN Board in a timely manner.
