Just to update about the revised version of ICANN's IDN ccTLD Fast Track:
Still we were not able to draft or send letter to ccNSO and Board. 
===========
...."Following the ICANN Board's approval on 8 December 2011 of the amendment to the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process Implementation Plan, 
ICANN is providing this notice of publication for 
the Revised Implementation Plan. 
This amendment was considered following guidance received from the ccNSO during the ICANN meeting in Dakar, Senegal.


Two versions are posted: 
1) the revised IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process Implementation Plan (http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/fast-track/idn-cctld-implementation-plan-15dec11-en.pdf[PDF, 851 KB]) 
and 
2) a version that tracks the changes from the previous version (http://www.icann.org/en/topics/idn/fast-track/idn-cctld-implementation-plan-redline-15dec11-en.pdf[PDF, 902 KB]). 
The community should take note that the original version of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process Implementation Plan is now archived and superseded by the Revised Implementation Plan.
Background

On 26 October 2011, the ccNSO Council approved a resolution http://ccnso.icann.org/node/28011 and communicated it in a letter http://ccnso.icann.org/node/27947 from ccNSO Chair to ICANN Board Chair asking the Board to direct staff to amend the relevant sections of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Implementation Plan. The amendment is to address specific cases when a requested IDN ccTLD string may be confusingly similar with the two-letter ASCII ccTLD corresponding to the same country or territory. "
