Hi,

I’ve made a first draft of comments to be submitted in response to the public comment period on the initial report of the translation and transliteration of contact information PDP WG. The draft can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vlwGo-jbItBJ3R5ycrs30-Q3i_3Fbh2HeyJskN6JXo4/edit

The deadline to submit comments is February first, so I would appreciate any and all comment as soon as possible so that the the NCSG policy committee can endorse the input before the submission deadline.

Thanks.

Amr

I’d be happy to help draft input to the public comment period by the NCSG, but having had my views reflected rather adequately in the working group’s recommendations, I’d also be grateful to hear the views of others.

>> The report contains the WG's discussion and puts the arguments it has gathered to the community. It provides both detailed arguments in favor and opposing mandatory transformation and indicates that a majority of the Working Group currently recommends against mandatory transformation and/or transliteration of Contact Information. The Working Group hopes that community feedback will maximize its consensus level for the Final Report and, therefore, its members strongly encourage the Community to provide additional arguments in favor/opposing mandatory transformation of contact information data further to facilitate the WG's consensus building process.
