[IDN-WG] Draft Statement of Working Group

Wed Nov 16 00:50:42 UTC 2011

Moving this discussion to the IDN-WG mailing list.

And also including a shortened and specific statement drafted in response to the VIP studies (attached).

Just a short note incorporating some of the ideas from Sala's draft, and a couple of specific advices to the VIP:

1. given the different types of IDN variant issues identified, to also report on which issues should be dealt with as IDN variants and which ones may in fact be more general user-confusability issues that should be dealt with by other mechanisms (e.g. those akin to small letter "L" -> "l" and capital letter "i" -> "I") that is in place.

2. given that there seems to be different level of readiness of implementation between the different language communities, to ask the VIP to identify the readiness and make recommendations that do not disadvantage those that are ready.

I understand that the public comment period has closed, but I think we can still present this to the VIP team and make sure they take it into consideration.

Will also plan to circulate this to the ALAC list shortly for consideration.

Thanks Oksana, could you please find out from your colleagues in EURALO whether there was any feedback. All the best with your round-table preps.

It would also be great to get some feedback from LACRALO, AFRALO and APRALO. Today is the last day and if we could get confirmation from the RALO Chairs whether they had received any feedback from their ALS's that would be great, in the meantime, I will send through something.

I apologise had been busy with PACINET and had also invited responses from the Pacific community but maybe outreach is something that can be improved later in terms of extraction of views from our members.

Dear Sala,

I am working on our round table in Ukrainian Parliament on 18 November(

It is shame on me that I did not fulfill my obligations, but I hope to have more information for final report.

Best regards,
Oksana

Dear All,

Just wondering whether anyone has received reports from the various RALOs so that we can weave it into our report.

This is fantastic everyone, I will tweak it a little bit and send it to Edmon and he can then send it to our At large community. It is critical given the time for consultations to send the Note so we are seen to be at least pushing. That's great Hong so at least it's on record and will certainly feed the link in Mohammed. This can be done "in text" or "hyper linked"

Jean-Jacques, I will make time to chat with you soon.

Best Regards,

Sala

Thank you all for the wonderful work done in this critical issue. My suggestion is that we emphasize ICANN "timely" complete the policy-making and technical development to ensure that IDN communities affected by variants issue would not be unfairly impacted in the upcoming new gTLD application process starting from next January. If IDNs are protected expressions, ICANN policy or process should make sure IDN users have the equal expression rights in DNS. I actually raised HR and FoE narrative back in 2007 at IGF Rio.

Adding Cheryl and Hong to the loop and reattaching the draft.

Sala, can you also add Natalia?...

Also cc-ing Heidi, Matt and Gisella to see how we can proceed to restart the IDN WG mailing list with the included people (note will need both Hong's email addresses ;-) and natalia's)

Dear Salanieta,

some quick remarks:

- this draft is very rich, carries many appropriate references, etc.

- a declaration might be appropriate for the whole of ICANN, or from the ALAC, but hardly from a simple working group; this seems disproportionate;

- timing: this kind of statement might be more useful when the ALAC has thought out the IDN question, and is in a position to offer an evaluation of what has already been done, and what remains to be achieved.

- In the meantime, the ALAC could simply state its intention to examine the implications of IDNs for the general Internet user, while taking full account of what has already been done.

Regards,

Jean-Jacques.
