Dear All,

This is a reminder about the current ccPDP4 Members vote, and an
invitation to please cast your vote.  The vote determines whether the
ccNSO membership supports the ccNSO Council recommendation to adopt the
proposed ccPDP4-IDN ccTLD policy.

VOTE START | Wednesday, 27 March 2024 (00:01 UTC)

VOTE DEADLINE | Wednesday, 17 April 2024 (23:59 UTC)

= = =

Total Ballots Cast (including duplicates): 58
Ballots Counted (excluding duplicates): 58
Voters Who Haven't Voted: 116

Your participation in this vote holds significant weight! While the
policy may not immediately impact your ccTLD, it paves the way for
non-Latin script country code Top Level Domains and their variants to be
accessible for domain name registration. Approval of the recommended IDN
ccTLD Policy by the ccNSO membership is pivotal, as it will then be
presented to the ICANN Board of Directors for their deliberation. For
approval by the ccNSO membership, at least 50% of the ccNSO Emissaries
must vote and at least 66% of those votes must be in favour of the ccNSO
Council recommendation.  Your thoughtful deliberation on these matters
is deeply appreciated.
