*Apologies for duplicates received due to cross-posting*
All,
Please note that the Expedited Policy Development Process on
Internationalized Domain Names (EPDP on IDNs) is structured in a
“Representative + Open” model which means that *it is open to (regular)
participants and observers*, in addition to 3 members to be selected by the
ALAC Appointee Selection Committee.
As such, I would like to encourage APRALO Members (both ALS Members and
Individual Members) with an interest on IDNs to submit expressions of
interest to participate in or observe the EPDP if you feel you do not
adequately meet the membership criteria set out below. *You can send your
expression of interest to Maureen and staff by 23:59 UTC on 11 June 2021 *(as
stated in the announcement below).
To support this call for wider APRALO participation in this EPDP on IDNs, I
am pleased to inform you that Satish Babu and I are in the midst of
organising an *introductory APRALO Webinar on IDNs to help build the
capacity of our RALO members to engage meaningfully in the work of this
EPDP*. While details of this APRALO webinar will only be announced later,
it will supplement the EPDP's ICANN 71 outreach session being held on
Monday, 14 June 2021, 14:30-15:30 UTC.
Thank you for your kind attention,
Justine

The GNSO Council has initiated
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2021#202105> an expedited
policy development process (EPDP) on the Internationalized Domain Names
(IDNs) and subsequently adopted the related EPDP Team Charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2021/presentation/CharterGNSOIDNsEPDPWorkingGroup20May21.pdf>
during
its 20 May 2021 meeting.
This EPDP is expected to provide the GNSO Council with policy
recommendations on:
1. i) the definition of all gTLDs and the management of variant labels
to facilitate the delegation of variant gTLDs in the root zone while
achieving the security and usability goal of variant labels in a stable
manner; and
2. ii) how the IDN Implementation Guidelines, which Contracted Parties
are required to comply with, should be updated in the future.
With that context, the GNSO Council invites the ALAC to participate in this
expedited policy development process. To ensure timely commencement of the
EPDP, *we ask that you identify up to 3 Members to join this EPDP Team no
later than Monday, 28 June 2021*. While you may appoint up to 3 Members,
you may choose to appoint fewer.
