'''JIG''' stands for '''Joint ccNSO-GNSO Internationalized Domain Names Working Group'''. The main purpose of the JIG is to deal with various issues related to the introduction of Internationalized Domain Names ([[IDN]]) [[ccTLD]]s under the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Implementation Process. It also deals with issues related to the introduction of IDN [[gTLD]]s under the new gTLD implementation process. <ref>[http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jiwg.htm ccnso.icann.org]</ref>

During the [[ICANN]] meeting in Sydney ([[ICANN 35]]), the [[GNSO]] and [[ccNSO]] council came to the conclusion that there are certain issues or topics related to the introduction of IDN ccTLDs under the IDN ccTLDs Fast Track Implementation process and introduction of IDN gTLDs under the new gTLD Implementation Process of common interests of both GNSO and ccNSO. These issues were common to both the councils, so it was preferred that a collaborative working group was drafted which will address these topics or issues. On the basis of this a Joint Working Group (JIG) was tasked to identify, explore and research on the topics and issues which were common to both GNSO and ccNSO councils. Once the JIG identifies and explores such issue or topic, it will recommend the appropriate methodology to address these issues. However, it was commonly decided by both the councils that the ongoing implementation work of new gTLDs and IDN ccTLDs should not be delayed waiting for the reports from JIG. <ref>[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/13009033/jiwg-charter.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1302029852000 community.icann.org]</ref>
