ccNSO welcome & policy update session Tuesday, 14 March 2023 | 14:00-15:00 UTC (09:00-10:00 local) Join meeting and consult session recordings | Room: Auditorio (ccNSO)
The ccNSO Chair Alejandra Reynoso (.gt), together with ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC) Chair Everton Rodrigues (.br) will welcome the attendees to the ccNSO Members Meeting. Moreover, the ccPDP3-Review Mechanism Working Group and the ccPDP4-IDN Working Group will present their proposals and seek input from the ccTLD community. About ccPDP3 ccPDP3 consists of two parts: 1. ccPDP3-RET. During the ICANN75 ICANN Annual General Meeting in September 2022, the ICANN Board of Directors adopted the ccNSO policy recommendation pertaining to the retirement of the delegated Top Level Domains associated with the country codes assigned to countries and territories listed in the ISO 3166-1 within the framework of the ccNSO Policy Development Process. The next step is the implementation of the policy. 2. ccPDP3-RM. The ccPDP3-Review Mechanism Working Group has developed a proposed mechanism pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of the delegated top-level domains associated with the country codes assigned to countries and territories in the ISO 3166-1 standard. The group is nearing its conclusion, and will use ICANN76 to inform the community about its policy proposals, before submitting its final report to the ccNSO Council. About ccPDP4 This Policy Development Process defines the criteria, process, and procedures for (de)selecting IDN ccTLD string. These strings are the IDN TLDs that are associated with the country codes assigned to countries, territories, or other areas of geopolitical interest listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard. The results of this ccPDP4 will eventually replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process. The ccPDP4 consists of three subgroups: the variant management subgroup, the confusing similarity review subgroup, and the de-selection subgroup. All subgroups have completed their initial proposals. The ccPDP4 working group has nearly concluded its initial policy development work, and intends to use this session as a final opportunity to seek feedback from the ccTLD community on its draft recommendations before publishing its initial report for public comment.

ccNSO & Universal Acceptance Roadmap session Wednesday, 15 March 2023 | 14:00-15:00 UTC (09:00-10:00 local) Join meeting and consult session recordings | Room: Auditorio (ccNSO)
Universal Acceptance is cornerstone to a digitally inclusive and multilingual Internet, ensuring all domain names and email addresses – in any language, script, or using any new or long TLD – are accepted equally by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems. The ccNSO previously explored its potential role in Universal Acceptance. To that end, it organized a session during ICANN75 where both ccTLDs and other stakeholders suggested activities the ccNSO could undertake to complement existing work by the Internet community. In December 2022 and January 2023, ccTLD representatives participated in two workshops to further explore their expectations regarding potential ccNSO action and how to organize next efforts. After the conclusion of the workshops, the ccNSO Council developed a plan which will be presented during this session at ICANN76. Moreover, during this session ICANN’s IDN & UA Program Team will share an overview of the activities in the area of UA, by the ICANN Board, staff and other SOs or ACs. Moreover, the team will share the results of a recent survey on ccTLD UA readiness. ICANN org recently reached out to the country code TLD managers to understand the progress and the challenges faced in becoming UA-ready, and how ICANN org can help support ccTLD managers by developing training and materials.

Digital technology can include telephone, smartphones, television, laptops and the internet. IGLC identified the digital divide as an important theme.

The DASC recently launched a survey to understand the ccTLD landscape with respect to handling the various aspects of DNS Abuse. After analysis of the results, the DASC is now ready to share the main survey findings with the ccTLD community. The DASC also presents its repository, an online information source about DNS Abuse, for the benefit of ccTLDs. The DNS Abuse Standing Committee (DASC) is the core of the ccTLD community-driven process around DNS abuse. The DASC was created as a dedicated forum for ccTLD managers to discuss the important topic of DNS abuse and share information, insights, and practices. In keeping with the nature of the ccNSO, the purpose of the DASC is not to formulate any policy or standards. Instead, its overarching goal is to increase understanding and awareness of the issues pertaining to DNS abuse, promote open and constructive dialogue, and ultimately assist ccTLD managers in their efforts to mitigate the impact of DNS abuse. Relevant documents are available on its website and workspace. |
