[ALAC] Fwd: Re: CALL FOR COMMENTS: ALAC Statement on the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information Working Group SO-AC Input Request

[Rinalia Abdul Rahim]

Thanks for the information, Carlton.
Olivier, the ALAC needs to decide if it wishes to submit a view to the WG
at this stage or wait to see the EWG view on the matter.

An option to consider:
For now, send a simple, but clear message to the WG that says the ALAC
firmly believes that Registrants should not have to bear any of the cost
burden for translation and / or transliteration of registration contact
data.

The rest of the issues may benefit from waiting and hearing the EWG view,
the At-Large Registration WG view + the At-Large IDN WG view, which will
take time.

There will be calls for comments on the EWG work as well as the Translation
Transliteration WG work in the future, so there will be future
opportunities for providing input on the more complex aspects of the
issue.

Best regards,

Rinalia
