Resolved (05.100) that the ICANN Board of Directors tasks the IDN working group to continue its important work and return to the board with specific IDN improvement recommendations before the ICANN Meeting in Morocco, currently scheduled for June 2006. Additionally, the board supports the working group's continued action to reframe the guidelines completely in a manner appropriate for further development as a Best Current Practices (BCP) document, to ensure that the guideline directions will be used deeper into the DNS hierarchy and within TLDs where ICANN has a lesser policy relationship.
The board approved the resolution 13-0. Hualin Qian and Njeri Rionge were not on the call at the time of the vote.
