About ccTLD News
Previous editions of the ccTLD News Sessions had an excellent collection of case studies, statistics, new developments, trends and more. The ccTLD News Sessions have been a part of the ccNSO Members Meetings for several years and has provided a global platform for both experienced and new people to meet, share experiences and discuss ccTLD-related aspects. For reference, the most recent session was held in March 2022, prior to ICANN73. The sessions are organised by the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC) and/or dedicated sub teams. The ccTLD News Sessions are open to all.

ccNSO Members Meeting
ccNSO Policy Update Session
Tuesday, 14 June 2022
Participate and Session Recordings
Two ccNSO Policy Development Process Working Groups will provide an update on their progress to date and seek input from the ccTLDs and other community members present on their proposals:
- The ccPDP3 Review Mechanism Working Group
The goal of the working group (WG) is to report on and recommend a policy for a review mechanism with respect to decisions pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of the delegated Top Level Domains associated with the country codes assigned to countries and territories listed in the ISO 3166-1 and within the framework of the ccNSO Policy Development Process. To date the working group has identified which decisions should be subject to a review and explored the requirements for the review mechanism. The group is now taking a deep-dive into the various requirements and related topics. - The ccPDP4 Working Group on the (de) selection of Internationalised Domain Name ccTLD strings
The ccPDP4 Working Group defines the criteria, process, and procedures for (de)selecting Internationalised Domain Name country code Top Level Domain strings (IDN ccTLDS) associated with the country codes assigned to countries, territories or other areas of geopolitical interest listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard and within the framework of the ccNSO Policy Development Process. The results of this ccPDP4 will eventually replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process.
The ccPDP4 full working group completed its review and discussion of the 2013 policy proposals for the IDN ccTLD string selection process. The fourth ccNSO PDP (ccPDP4) consists of three subgroups. The variant management subgroup continues its review of the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) variant top-level domain (TLD) recommendations. The de-selection subgroup, tasked with defining the trigger event(s) that will cause the start of the IDN country code top-level domain (ccTLD) retirement process, recently completed its work. The retirement process itself is out of scope for ccPDP4 and defined as part of ccPDP3. A third subgroup on confusing similarity started its work in April 2022.

ccNSO DNS Abuse Session
Thursday, 16 June 2022
Participate and Session Recordings
This session informs the community on the views of ccTLDs from different geographical regions on DNS Abuse. What are their top priorities? What do they do to mitigate DNS Abuse? The session serves as useful input for the ccNSO DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC), which is the core of the ccTLD community-driven process around DNS Abuse. In keeping with the nature of the ccNSO, the purpose of the Committee is not to formulate any policy or standards, recognising that policy development in this area is out of scope of the ccNSO policy remit. The overarching purpose is to raise understanding and awareness of the issues pertaining to DNS Abuse, promote open and constructive dialogue, and ultimately to assist ccTLD Managers in their efforts to mitigate the impact of DNS Abuse. In undertaking its activities, the Committee is not mandated nor shall it act as a representative of nor act on behalf of the ccNSO, ccNSO Membership, ccNSO Council or individual ccTLD Managers collectively or individually.
Background
At ICANN73, the ccNSO Council adopted the Roadmap regarding the ccNSO and DNS Abuse. Moreover, ccTLDs suggested areas for improvement to the draft DASC's draft Terms of Reference, specifically to include safeguards with respect to the scope of its mandate. The amended Terms of Reference were subsequently adopted by Council.
