2. Approach for Next Steps
3. Summary Document Review
a. High-level impressions (Overall and preliminary recommendations)
-- Note that these are high-level impressions, not a listing of all comments (which already are cataloged). This is to help us understand if we need to move significantly from our Initial Report.
-- Many commenters from "the other side" see the 2012 Rules as a compromise that should be made explicit in this summary... see e.g. the general comments from Spain etc. and similar comments
b. Detail - Country and Territory Names
Two character letter-letter
-- needs clarification.
Alpha-3 codes listed in the IS0 3166-1 standard:
-- One WT member raised the issue of including currency codes in the discussion of Work Track 5.
-- Review of comments in favor of making alpha-3 codes available.
-- One WT member stated that 3-character codes are not within the scope of WT5.
-- Review of comments in favor of delegating with support/non-objection.
-- Long list of opposition to proposals on 3-letter codes. Does that reinforce what the WT has put forward as recommendations? WT5 members should review the comments on this topic and provide input on the list.
4. AOB
-- ICANN65 - Pre-Meeting webinars will provide information about the upcoming meeting. All are encouraged to register.
-- WT5 has two sessions scheduled for Monday.
-- Next meeting is Wednesday 5 June at 14:00 UTC.
