6 Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group (JIG) Final Report
Bart Boswinkel reported that Patrick Fältström and Edmon Chung had a discussion
regarding recommendation 3 D in the JIG Final Report. Patrick had felt that the IDN TLD
testing of confusable similarity should not be limited to only single or two character ASCII

7 Working Group Updates
7.1 IDN PDP Working Group 1

ICANN Operational Plan Framework on the 3rd of April.

Working Group, based on the Working Group input.

Bart Boswinkel reported that two conference calls are scheduled for the DSSA Working
Group before Singapore and that the group is aiming to have a work plan ready for the face-
to-face meeting.
8 ccNSO Review Work Plan
The Chair suggested that the Council should go through the ccNSO Review Work Plan page
by page to consider the proposed priorities and actions.
The Chair asked for comments to recommendations 1,2 and 3.
Roelof Meijer suggested that the costs for translation of key documents could be covered
by ccTLD sponsorships and that it would be wise to use ICANN’s translators for consistency
reasons.
Bart Boswinkel suggested that this topic should be revisited after the Dakar Meeting. This
was agreed.
The Chair asked for comments to recommendations 4, 5, 6,7 and 8. No comments were
noted.
The Chair asked for comments to recommendations 9, 10, 11, 12.

have low priority. The Chair noted that the issue should be revisited in the future.

about the adoption of the Review Work Plan.
Action 63-03:

the Council that Bart would visit her during the week to discuss the topic further.

Step 3: Finalise proposal Council call 7 June 2012
Step 4: Present Work Plan at ccNSO members meeting in Singapore
Step 5: Update Work Plan for adoption
Step 6: Adoption either at Singapore meeting or Council call 23 August
Hiro Hotta suggested that since the process is rather detailed it would be useful for the
ccNSO Working Group chairs to review the process in order to synchronise it with the
working group schedules.
The Chair asked for comments or objections to the Draft Work Plan. No comments were
noted.
10 ccNSO Website
10.1 Closed Section
The Chair asked for opinions to the suggested options for a closed section on the ccNSO
website:
Option A: There should be a clearly marked, closed ccNSO website space, with
the possibility to contain areas such as address books, sensitive material etc.
Option B :The (Confluence) Wiki tool should be used for the purposes of a closed
section whilst the ccNSO website should remain completely open.
Option C: No areas on the ccNSO website or the Confluence Wiki Spaces should
be closed
Various Councillors voted for Option B and Option C. The Chair suggested a trial period for
Option B and this was agreed.
Bart Boswinkel offered to elaborate Option B for better comprehension, including preparation
for a Confluence training session.
Action 63-04:
Bart Boswinkel to elaborate Option B in the paper on a Closed section on the ccNSO
website, including preparation for a Confluence training session.

Tech Day MeetingThe ccNSO Tech Working Group in close cooperation with DNS-OARC organized a two day event (13 and 14 March) with over 25 presentations on operational and technical topics relevant for the ccTLD community. The presentations ranged from using tools to monitor traffic to updates on Name Server software.
Delegation & Re-delegation Working Group Report
During the ccNSO meeting the Final Report of the Delegation, Re-delegation and Retirement Working Group was discussed. The DRDWG recommended the ccNSO Council undertake, as a first step, the development of a "Framework of Interpretation" for the delegation and re-delegation of ccTLDs. The DRDWG recommended that the ccNSO should launch a cc Policy Development Process on the retirement of ccTLDs At the same time the DRDWG advised that the Council consider the development of a Framework of Interpretation as a higher priority than the ccPDP for retirement of ccTLDs
At its meeting the ccNSO Council thanked all members, experts, observers on the DRDWG for their outstanding work, and timely delivery of the Final Report.
The ccNSO Council further resolved to create the Framework of Interpretation Working Group (FoI WG) as recommended and adopted its charter. The ccNSO Council will revisit whether or not to launch a ccPDP on the retirement of ccTLDs at the time the FoI WG has submitted its Final Report as foreseen in the charter of the FoI WG
Fast Track review and IDN ccPDP sessionDuring the ccNSO meeting the results of the review process of the Fast Track were presented and issues discussed, in particular the issues pertaining to string confusion. The session included presentations on the applications from Bulgaria and Greece on the issues they have encountered regarding string confusion.
At its meeting the ccNSO council requested IDN ccPDP WG1 to develop, as soon as possible, guidelines (within the framework of the existing rules for the Fast Track) to improve the predictability of the evaluation relating to string confusion as defined in the IDNC Final Report and the Final Implementation report as adopted by the ICANN Board in November 2009.
ccNSO review and conclusion the process to assign roles and responsibilities.
During the ccNSO meeting the Board WG on the review of the ccNSO presented its final report and explained the next steps in the review process. The ccTLD maangers present provided feed-back on the review process itself, among others on the usefulness of the process for the ccNSO and the review process itself.
At its meeting the ccNSO council adopted the roles and responsibilities documentation. In the opinion of the council one the recommendations of the Board WG (recommendation 10 of the Independent reviewers) has been implemented.

Subject: Re: ccNSO Application for Membership (.ua)
There is currently an outstanding request for .UA to change the address of the operator, which we don't consider a substantial change, however:
1) They have made it clear to us in recent weeks the current operator wishes to redelegate soon; and
2) They recently applied, and were granted, membership in CENTR for an organisation different to the current operator.
Not sure if they impact your decision, but there you have it.

To Agenda Point 6: Process for Working Group Membership (extract of email posted 26 January 2011)
During the February ccNSO Council call, it was suggested by the ccNSO Secretariat to change the process in which new Working Group members are accepted. The current process is that all working group members need to be approved by the Council.
As we quite often receive requests for working group membership outside of the call for volunteers period, we suggested, in order to speed up the process, that we only require the approval of the Working Group Chair, and then inform the Council on who has been added.
It was, however, pointed out during yesterday’s discussion that in some cases if the process gets outside of the Council’s control and that that the changed procedures in general could be abused by people who were not approved by the Council in the first place.
As this probably only would happen in very rare cases, it would be desirable that the Council comes up with a solution which would suit both the wish for a smoother and faster process, but would not leave the Council out of total control.
====
To Agenda Point 11: ccNSO Website: Closed Section (extract of email posted 26 January 2011)
Discussion and further decisions about open and closed space / use of the confluence wiki that ccNSO is migrating to was held.
Confluence pages can either be open for everyone, or closed to certain groups. This means that, for instance, working group members could receive passwords for “their” working group and only they can access that space (we have, in fact, already been trying to use this for some working groups with another wiki called Socialtext - but it was not very popular – perhaps due the fact that it wasn’t very user friendly).
Confluence also allows for “message board” functions (where participants can leave short comments on topics/documents discussed) and it can be set up so that those who wish receive email alerts of the activities.
Once a Working Group is closed, its Wiki space can be archived, if wished for. Furthermore, Confluence can also support some voting functions (keeping the voter anonymous to the community, but open to the manager of the space).

The Next Meeting of the ccNSO Council will be held on March 1st.
As foreshadowed in my Jan Report the ccNSO has now called for 4 Volunteers to join the Study Group on the Use of Names for Countries and Territories.
This study group was established at the Cartagena meeting in response to the note of the chair of this working group that some of the issues that are raised are considered outside the scope of the PDP ( for example how to deal with meaningful representations of country or territory names that do NOT contain a non-ASCII character or are NOT in an designated language). The purpose of this workin group is to provide the ccNSO Council, ccTLD community and other interested stakeholders, including the GAC and GNSO Council, an overview of the scope and issues associated with the use of Country and Territory names as TLD strings and the scope and impact of alternative action paths on IDN ccTLD and new gTLD processes.
The Study Group's goal is to provide the ccNSO Council, ccTLD community and other interested stakeholders, including the GAC and GNSO Council, an overview of the scope and issues associated with the use of Country and Territory names as TLD strings and the scope and impact of alternative action paths on IDN ccTLD and new gTLD processes.
The statement of purpose for the study group can be found at http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unctwg.htm.
This matter is on the Feb 22nd ALAC Agenda. <link to outcomes will be inserted here later>

(ONGOING) Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT) Public Forum on ATRT Review: http://icann.org/en/public-comment/#atrt-community-feedback
The ccNSO has recently posted their comments on the review of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process, and 2011-01 ccNSO comments on ccNSO review draft final report. The IDN WG 2 in its report made recommendations for the inclusion of IDN ccTLDs in the ccNSO within the framework of the IDN ccPDP. See http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-22nov10-en.htm
The ccNSO Council has also been approached to see what possible assistance ccTLD operators might be able to provide to assist with the UNESCO, ISOC and OECD is doing joint study on the economic aspects of local content creation and local Internet infrastructure to analyse whether the encouragement of local content creation and development of local Internet infrastructure have impact on the price of access to Internet by local users.
For this exercise we need some data which could be provided by ccTLD registries. Type of date for the period of past 10 years we are looking at is:
· Number of registered domain names at the end of the year
· Price of registration of domain name
· Price of local traffic
· Price of local hosting
· Number of ISPs in the country
The results of the study are planned to present during the next IGF.
Consideration is being given to the questions being asked by a small questionnaire which could be send out to ccTLD operators with Council encouragement, to complete, as part of the ccNSO Council Agenda in the January 25th 2011 meeting (full agenda for this meeting is at http://www.ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/agenda-council-25jan11-en.pdf )
Specific information on ALSes and ccNSO members bridging both worlds.
The list below is build upon the actual list of accredited ALSes and the relation to the region and country.
In the last column you will find, if the ccTLD is a member of ccNSO, the ccTLD extension of the country code and a direct link to the website of that specific ccTLD.
Through this list the existing ALSes can find out if in their country or region their is a ccNSO member and eventually could stimulate them to be part of the ccNSO. Same of course could happen from the ccTLD side, where they could do some promotional work in finding new ALSes joining the ALAC.
List of all ALSes and the presence in the ccNSO memberspace updated till October 2009.
The ccNSO has actually 107 members. (updated 27/9/2010).
