IDN TLD Allocation Implementation Processes

20 August 2008

* *Following the progress on the IDN TLD allocation processes during the
ICANN meeting in Paris a new area has been made available to describe IDN
policy development and IDN ccTLD allocation developments under ICANN's IDN
Area: http://icann.org/en/topics/idn <http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn>.

At the Paris meeting, the Board approved both of the processes described
below for implementation.

   - In relation to the IDN ccTLD "fast track" process it was resolved
that*the Board directs staff to: "(1) post the IDNC WG final report
for public
   comments; (2) commence work on implementation issues in consultation with
   relevant stakeholders; and (3) submit a detailed implementation report
   including a list of any outstanding issues to the Board in advance of the
   ICANN Cairo meeting in November 2008."*

   recommendations<http://gnso.icann.org/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm>for
the introduction of new gTLDs.
   *And further that* the Board directs staff to continue to further develop
   and complete its detailed implementation plan, continue communication with
   the community on such work, and provide the Board with a final version of
   the implementation proposals for the board and community to approve before
   the new gTLD introduction process is launched."*
