Made by: John Berard
Seconded by: Mikey O'Connor

Whereas,

 

  1. The ccNSO Study group on the use of Names for Country and Territory published its Final Report in September 2013 (http://ccnso.icann.org/node/42227 ). The first of the two recommendations of the Study Group to the ccNSO Council was to establish a cross community working group to:
  • Further review the current status of representations of country and territory names, as they exist under current ICANN policies, guidelines and procedures;
  • Provide advice regarding the feasibility of developing a consistent and uniform definitional framework that could be applicable across the respective SOs and ACs; and
  • Should such a framework be deemed feasible, provide detailed advice as to the content of the framework.

 

  1. The ccNSO Council adopted the recommendations and, as the objective of the proposed Working Group is considered to be of common interest to the broader community, the GNSO, in addition to other Supporting Organisations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs) and others, was invited to participate in the working group on equal footing.

 

  1. The ccNSO submitted a proposed charter [include link] for this Cross-Community Working Group, which the GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed.

 

RESOLVED,

  1. The GNSO Council approves the Charter [include link] and appoints ___________ as the GNSO Co-Chair and ­­­­­­­­­­______________ as the GNSO Council liaison to the Cross-Community Working Group to advice on the feasibility of a framework for the use of Country and Territory names as TLDs, and develop such a framework if deemed feasible.  

 

  1. The GNSO will collaborate with the other SOs and ACs to issue a call for volunteers for this CWG, each in accordance with its own rules.
