DEPENDENCIES
This item remains deferred pending further consideration by the ccNSO and GNSO in the context of their IDN related PDPs.
STATUS UPDATES
| Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 4 | Dependencies | This item remains deferred pending further consideration by the ccNSO and GNSO in the context of their IDN related PDPs. |
| Phase 4 | AP Feedback | SSAC notes that while this item is deferred, there has been major progress with respect to IDNs including IDN guidelines 4.0 and ICANN org's work in script tables. Does any of this recent work impact the implementation status of recommendation 8? |
| Phase 4 | AP Feedback | SSAC acknowledged the 2021 Q3 implementation updated and did not have any comments or feedback for ICANN org. |
| Phase 4 | Phase Update | This has already been proposed by SubPro WG for gTLDs with more details being developed by the IDN EPDP underway. ccNSO is also working on a solution for variant TLDs through its ongoing IDN ccPDP4. |
| Phase 4 | AP Feedback | SSAC acknowledged the 2020 Q4 implementation updated and did not have any comments or feedback for ICANN org. |
| Phase 4 | Phase Update | This item remains deferred pending further consideration by the ccNSO and GNSO in the context of their IDN related PDPs. |
| Phase 4 | AP Feedback | SSAC acknowledged the 2019 Q2 implementation updated and did not have any comments or feedback for ICANN org. |
| Phase 4 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 4: Deferred Deferral Reason: Further implementation of this item is deferred as of 25 June 2019 pending external activity. ICANN org will take up further action once the GNSO and ccNSO consider this item as part of the policy development work. |
| Phase 4 | Phase Update | ICANN org recently developed the Recommendations for Managing IDN Variant TLDs, published at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/idn-variant-tld-implementation-2018-07-26-en. These have been adopted by ICANN Board at their meeting at ICANN64, where the Board asked the GNSO and ccNSO to consider these in their policy and procedures. Further implementation of this item is deferred as of 30 June 2019 pending external activity. ICANN org will take up further work once the GNSO and ccNSO have considered these items as part of their policy development work. |
| Phase 4 | Dependencies | Further implementation of this item is deferred as of 25 June 2019 pending external activity. ICANN org will take up further action once the GNSO and ccNSO consider this item as part of the policy development work. |
| Phase 4 | Phase Update | ICANN agrees with this recommendation and the entire Project 7 of the IDN Variant TLD Program is dedicated to developing the processes to handle variant mechanisms, including the life cycle of a variant label. Implementation of this specific advice item is in progress and is part of project 7. This recommendation is being looked at by the Study Group on Technical Use of RZ-LGR: https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Study+Group+on+Technical+Use+of+RZ-LGR. |
| Phase 4 | Phase Update | ICANN agrees with this recommendation and the entire Project 7 of the IDN Variant TLD Program is dedicated to developing the processes to handle variant mechanisms, including the life cycle of a variant label. Implementation of this specific advice item is in progress and is part of project 7. Considerable work has been underway on IDNs and IDN variants. Including: IDN Implementation Guidelines: The public comment period on the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Implementation Guidelines Version 4.0 opened on 3 March 2017 and closed on 2 May 2017. An ICANN organization report is expected on 9 August 2017 (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/idn-guidelines-2017-03-03-en). Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone: The public comment period on Version 2 of the LGR Rules for the Root Zone opened on 6 June 2017 and closed on 24 July 2017. An ICANN organization report is expected on 11 August 2017 (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rz-lgr-2-2017-06-06-en). |
| Phase 4 | Board Update | Board consideration is complete and implementation of advice item is ongoing. Status provided in 19 October 2016 letter from ICANN Board Chair to SSAC Chair (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/crocker-to-faltstrom-19oct16-en.pdf). ICANN agrees with this recommendation and the entire Project 7 of the IDN Variant TLD Program is dedicated to developing the processes to handle variant mechanisms, including the life cycle of a variant label.
