b. Open Public Comments - Summary
- Han Script Single Character IDN Generic Top-Level Domains CPWG
- In preparation for the New gTLD Program: Next Round, ICANN org worked with the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Script Generation Panels (CJK GPs) to seek their guidance on string similarity concerns for single character IDN gTLD applications in the Han script. The CJK GPs agreed that the work already done in the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGRs) sufficiently addresses the technical and linguistic concerns around string similarity for single character IDN TLDs. Feedback is requested on the Proposed Considerations for the Application of Single Character IDN Generic Top-Level Domains based on the analysis and conclusions shared by the CJK GPs.

- Preliminary Issue Report on a Policy Development Process for Latin Script Diacritics CPWG
This Preliminary Issue Report on Latin Script Diacritics examines a single issue: the circumstance where a base ASCII generic top-level domain (gTLD) and the Latin script diacritic version of the gTLD are not variants of each other, and where currently no mechanism exists that allows a single registry operator to simultaneously operate both gTLDs. The report provides additional background about this issue, including factors that might be appropriate for considering the scope of the issue or that might aid in a policy development process (PDP), and an assessment as to whether this issue is within scope of the ICANN policy process and the GNSO. The report also includes a draft PDP charter. Your input will be reviewed in preparing the final Issue Report that the GNSO Council will consider in determining next steps.

- Draft ICANN Strategic Plan and Operating Plan Framework for FY26-30 OFB-WG

The Board and org need your feedback on the clarity and relevance of our vision, the appropriateness of the strategic objectives, and the detailed goals and strategies designed to achieve them. Additionally, we seek your input on the proposed progress indicators and identified strategic risks. Furthermore, your input on the key activities identified in the five-year Operating Plan Framework to achieve each draft strategy is also appreciated.

- Data Processing Specification for ICANN-Accredited Registries and Registrars OFB-WG
ICANN org seeks community input on draft Data Processing Specifications (DPS) applicable to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement and Registry Agreement. Pursuant to the Phase 1 Recommendations 19 and 20 of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data, ICANN org and a team convened by the Contracted Party House negotiated the terms of the DPS for which we now seek public comment. ICANN org is preparing to implement the DPS so contracted parties can begin utilizing it during the Registration Data Policy transition period (21 August 2024 - 20 August 2025).
