Internet fragmentation is defined in many different ways. 

The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Policy Network on InternetFragmentation (PNIF) identified three key dimensions of Internet fragmentation:

· Fragmentation of the Internet user experience,

· Fragmentation of the Internet’s technical layer, and

· Fragmentation of Internet governance and coordination.

Fragmentation has potentially significant implications for country codetop-level domains (ccTLDs). At ICANN79, the ccNSO Internet Governance LiaisonCommittee (IGLC) is organizing a session to explore how fragmentation affectsccTLDs from different regions. What should ccTLDs be aware of, what are theregulatory realities and what are the approaches being taken by ccTLDs?

Session chair: Annaliese Williams (.au)

 POLICYUPDATE: ccPDP4 IDN ccTLD String Selection

The ccPDP4 Working Group definesthe criteria, process and procedures for the (de)selection of IDN ccTLDsassociated with the country codes assigned to countries, territories or otherareas of geopolitical interest listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard. The resultsof this ccPDP4 will eventually replace the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process. 

The Working Group completed its final report by ICANN79, taking into account the assessment made following its recent request for comments.   This includes the general policy proposals for the IDN ccTLD string selection process. It alsoincludes proposals for variant management, confusing similarity, de-selection and review mechanisms. The final report was presented and adopted by the ccNSO Council and is expected to be submitted by ICANN80 to the ICANN Board. Read the Final Report by the ccPDP4.
