The GNSO Council has followed the report's recommendation to establish a joint working group in coordination with the ccNSO to analyze, prioritize, and select issues for further policy development.

The timetable contains a series of consultations and collaborations to ensure that the testing, when launched, will preserve DNS stability and security. It does not purport to be a presumption on any related policy issues which are in the perview of the ICANN policy bodies. The timetable calls for the start of testing in July 2006. http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-14mar06.htm Wed, 24 May 2006 17:52:50 PDT http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-14mar06.htm#When:17:52:50 The ICANN Board resolution of 8 November 2005 endorsing the v.2.0 Guidelines "tasks the IDN working group to continue its important work and return to the board with specific IDN improvement recommendations before the ICANN Meeting in Morocco, currently scheduled for June 2006."

This draft reflects the experiences of the IDN registries in the implementation of Version 1.0 of the guidelines. Particular attention has been paid to concerns that have arisen about the deceptive use of visually confusable characters from different scripts in individual IDN labels. http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-20sep05.htm Mon, 24 Oct 2005 10:05:43 PDT http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-20sep05.htm#When:10:05:43 ICANN is aware of the recent publicity regarding the vulnerability of certain web browsers to URI and domain name spoofing that relies on the use of Internationalised Domain Name (IDN) resolution. ICANN encourages the global Internet community to participate in this public comment forum as part of an effort to improve public protection from abusive use of domain names while responsibly opening up opportunities for non-Latin language characters to be used in registered domain names. http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-23feb05.htm Wed, 23 Feb 2005 16:03:51 PDT http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-23feb05.htm#When:16:03:51
