Brief Overview

Purpose

The Initial Report is published to seek community response and input on
the following two (2) questions:

  1.       To expedite the Country Code Names Supporting Organization
(ccNSO) decision-making on the proposed recommended policy for the
Retirement of country code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs), it is proposed to
separate Part 1 (on the Retirement of ccTLDs) from Part 2 (on Review
Mechanism). Are there any concerns separating the two policy development
efforts: Retirement of ccTLDs (Part 1) and Review Mechanism (Part 2)?

  2.       Related, are there any major concerns with respect to the
proposed recommendation for the retirement policy, which have not been
raised before or are inadequately addressed in the final paper?

Current Status

In February 2021 the ccNSO Working Group on the Retirement of country
code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) concluded its work by unanimously
supporting the policy recommendations pertaining to the retirement of
ccTLDs. This policy development effort is part of the third ccNSO Policy
Development Process, which was initiated in 2017 to develop policy
recommendations on the Retirement of ccTLDs (Part 1) and to develop
policy recommendations for a Review Mechanism for decisions pertaining
to the delegation, transfer, revocation and retirement of ccTLDs (Part
2).

Next Steps

If there are no major concerns, neither regarding the separation of Part
1 and Part 2 nor regarding the recommended Retirement Policy itself, the
policy recommendations contained in this report will be taken to the
ccNSO Council and ccNSO Membership for their consideration.
