The IDN workshop during the [[ICANN 23|Luxembourg meeting]] ~~provided a basis for the first review~~ of the ~~IDN~~ Guidelines. Following this workshop a Working Group of gTLD and ccTLD registries with IDN experience was formed to work on a revision of the guidelines, to be put forth for public comment.

The IDN workshop during the [[ICANN 23|Luxembourg meeting]] agreed that revision of the Guidelines was needed.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/minutes-special-meeting-of-the-board-08-11-2005-en Minutes | Special Meeting of the Board 8 November 2005] Retrieved September 2, 2025</ref> Following this workshop, a Working Group of gTLD and ccTLD registries with IDN experience was formed to work on a revision of the guidelines, to be put forth for public comment.

This second version of the Guidelines was necessary after experience was gathered in actual registry practice. Also, during the course of the review preceding this first revision, and as indicated in the comments received on the resulting draft, the initial version required extensive modification. The requisite changes could not readily be made by simple incremental changes to the initial text. However, given the urgent nature of some IDN concerns and the corresponding need for rapid response, the Working ~~Grouo~~ assigned to the task~~, the [[IDN Guidelines Revision Working Group]],~~ decided to produce a revised version of the Guidelines retaining their initial format as rapidly as possible, and then proceed with an alternate instrument with which to replace them altogether.

A draft Version 2 of the IDN Guidelines was published on September 20, 2005. A wide range of remarks and suggestions on the initial draft of Version 2 were submitted to a forum for public commentary that was open through October 23, 2005. On the basis of that material, a final draft Version 2 of the Guidelines was prepared and submitted to the ICANN Board for endorsement.
