Technical Check Review CPWG

For IANA-managed zones, most notably for the root zone, a suite of technical conformance tests are conducted as part of the process of evaluating change requests. IANA expects to conduct a general community consultation on the scope and definition of these tests to inform future evolution of its operational practices. The current tests were defined based on a prior community engagement exercise.


Initial Report: ccNSO Policy Development Process on the Selection of IDN ccTLDs CPWG

The ccNSO, through its policy development process, is developing a policy on the selection of Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) country code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs). The working group responsible for proposing such policy will be seeking community feedback and comments on its initial proposals for the proposed selection criteria, requirements, and related process. In time, this policy will replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process.


Improved GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charter Amendment Process OFB-WG

The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) charter revision process has been updated to reflect the continuous evolution of the ICANN community, ongoing implementation of Specific Review recommendations, and the review role of ICANN Board. These improvements will streamline charter revisions and allow GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to continue their focus on policy development.
