*Dear Hong,* * * *I'll let those like yourself who put in all the hard work, to reply more specifically to the points you raised. Just 2 quick remarks:* * * *- "*I don't assume LGR needs to be addressed here." *Well, during one of the sessions with the presence of an expert (he was presented to us as the leading authority on this question), we were given an explanation on why and how the LGR must be fully taken into account in any proposal about IDN variants. That's why we thought it necessary to include the point about LGR in the revisions which Rinalia was kind enough to take care of, based upon your very valuable initial draft.* * * *- "*The community needs hope not more staffing." *I'm sure our community agrees with you. However, in a structure like ICANN, hope alone does not always achieve the results we expect. Why did we specifically mention staffing? Because in the course of meetings, it became apparent that in the process leading to the acceptance and introduction of IDN variants, there are gaps, specifically regarding personnel having the required technical capacity, but also a sufficient level of understanding of linguistic constraints and user expectations.* * * *With best wishes,* *Jean-Jacques.* 2013/4/21 Hong Xue <hongxueipr@gmail.com>
I made the Draft on April 10 and updated it on April 11 on the wiki. It seems the current one does not refflect the updated parts. I don't understand why the current page at
https://community.icann.org/display/alacpolicydev/ALAC+Advice+to+the+ICANN+B... completely removed my initial and updated versions, along with all the comments. Could anyone help me to get those back? I do believe all the volunteers' works should be saved and recorded.
Trademark variatns are more complicated than IDN variants and may not exactly match up to the LGR, particularly withe respect to Trademark Claims. I don't assume LGR needs to be addressed here.
Also, I oppose to " This may require additional Staff ". The community needs hope not more staffing.
