Country-Code Managers&#39; Interest in the Fast Track Process</span></h2>

<p style="margin: 11.25pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">10
February 2009</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Last year, ICANN sent letters
to countries and territories informing them about the Fast Track process —
where a limited number of internationalized domain names will be added to the
Internet – and asked them to indicate their level of interest. This is an
update on that process.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">A total of 252 letters were
sent to national governments, and copied to country code top-level domain
managers. So far we have received 74 responses and a small number of
respondents requested confidentiality.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Out of these (not counting
confidential requests), 31 said they were interested in participating in the
Fast Track process, representing a total of 15 different languages. The
remaining expressed they were not interested in participating at this time or indicated
that they would not be eligible to obtain an IDN ccTLD under the process. (It
should be noted that it is not a requirement to reply to the letter in order
for a country or territory to take participation in the Fast Track process.)</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Below this announcement is an
updated overview of all non-confidential responses to date.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The actual strings that the
respondents are interested in obtaining have not been duplicated below but they
can be seen by clicking the link to the PDFs for the actual replies.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Receiving the information
about the anticipated number of requests in the Fast Track Process along with
the language specifics is very helpful in planning for implementation of the
Fast Track Process. ICANN would like to thank those respondents for providing this
information.</span></p>
