Following the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council's approval of the Phase 2 Final Report on the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), the ICANN Board is seeking the community's input. The GNSO Council's approval of all 20 outputs, including 14 policy recommendations and six pieces of implementation guidance, obligates the Board to adopt the recommendations under the ICANN Bylaws, unless, by a vote of more than two-thirds, the Board determines that the policy is not in the best interests of the ICANN community or ICANN.
Input on all areas of the policy recommendations will be greatly appreciated to assist the ICANN Board in reaching a decision. As a reminder, the EPDP Team went through a comprehensive Public Comment proceeding for its initial report, factoring in all the input received from the community to complete the Final Report.
This proceeding will be open for 42 days. For more information, and to participate in this proceeding, please visit this website.
