One of the biggest complaints with the structuring of ICANN's DNSO came from ccTLD registry operators, who felt that the supporting organization was mainly concerned with gTLDs and that they needed their own separate organization. </div>

On October 29, 2002, the country code managers emphasized their dissatisfaction by withdrawing completely from the DNSO.</div>

This action prompted and expedited the replacement of the DNSO with the GNSO, which was created in December 2002. Work began on creating the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) in September 2002, culminating in the creation of the ccNSO at ICANN
17 in June 2003.</div>

A separation of concerns is always useful like in the case of gNSO and ccNSO and will facilitate a faster structure to address localization, centralization, decentralization and globalization. "Region" is a good enough granularity to work with. </div>

Putting together concerns that have been separated with a purpose has seldom been easy. I find excellent work docketed with the Confluence - ICANN Community Wiki that needs "integrated" view to emerge rather than reinvent the wheel.</div>

Bonjour Jean,<br>
Thank you for sharing the information. Just to clarify, since .io is a ccTLD, it falls under the responsibility of the ccNSO, not the NCSG. The NCSG primarily focuses on gTLDs and non-commercial interests within the ICANN framework, while ccTLD-related matters
like .io are managed by the ccNSO.<br>
Since this issue pertains to a ccTLD, it’s outside the usual scope of NCSG members, who may not have the appropriate insights or responses. I would recommend directing your concerns to the ccNSO. It might also be worth bringing this topic up during the open
sessions at ICANN81.<br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>
Emmanuel<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear members,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you may have heard, following recent events, there are conversations/concerns/rumors about the .io ccTLD to (eventually) disappear.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can find some information on the events here: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io" target="_blank">
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While it is unlikely that this disappearance will materialize, we believe it's pertinent to address any possible concerns in advance and seek clarification from the appropriate structures if necessary.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To this end, we would like to invite you to let us know:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A) What are your concerns, if any, about this situation</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>B) Are you concerned about a possible increase of price should the ccTLD change hands?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let us know so we can support you if needed.</div>
