IRD-WG Interim Report:

The International Registration Data Working Group is scheduled to soon release its Interim Report (unfortunately, no findings nor recommendations will likely be posted).  

As one WG member noted:  "Okay. So, let’s take out - in this situation then, let’s take out the findings and recommendations. And, I think there’s still value in putting the interim report out. The effect is that we’ll get public comments and we’ll get people to give feedback from the community. So, I see - I mean, the benefits of having the - an interim report. So, I will suggest we take out the findings and recommendations section."

Update:  The Draft Interim Report of the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group has been posted.

 The GNSO and SSAC created the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG) to study the feasibility and suitability of introducing submission and display specifications to deal with the internationalization of Registration Data.  It's a complex topic and more time will be needed by the WG to fully attend to its mandate.
