Phase 1a, whose report was published. It had 34 submissions in response and lots of useful feedback. Six recommendations need to be updated, six others may need review.

  • The EPDP on Internationalized Domain Names has made significant headway. Its aims and methods seem to be aligning with ccPDP4. The team has more than 40 questions to address in the charter, but the focus is currently on IDN string similarity and the String Confusion Objection process as well as breaking the EPDP into chunks. The idea is that the first part will concern TLDs and the second part will concern post-delegation, and operational issues on the second level; the team is seeking risk assessment expertise from ICANN Organization.[3]
  • The Registration accuracy scoping team is a pre-PDP effort and is currently planning a survey for registrars
  • The SSAD ODA small team said that ICANN will share its report on the SSAD Light proof of concept the week before ICANN 75.
  • The DNS abuse small team is working on "Issue Buckets" to determine which approach works best for each type of abuse issue. It could be structuring voluntary agreements, engaging in ICANN Community outreach, or taking the PDP route.
  • The Closed Generics Facilitation arrangement is underway and signifies a new type of process for ICANN.
