questions to be asked about the number of allocatable variants
by HiroHOTTA May 16, 2015

May 16, 2015

Dear IP/CGP/JGP/KGP, Following are among the questions to be asked to IP and intended to be discussed in the session held at 13:00 KST (4:00 UTC) today. Hiro ============= issues regarding "the number of allocatable variants" ============= proposal by IP: the number of allocatable variant strings should be small, e.g., at most 3, as the result of RootLGR issue-1 "what kinds of variant strings are preferred to be applied for" cannot be predicted and should not be assumed in RootLGR (at least in Japanese case, for example) <reasoning> In Japanese case, all the characters are considered to be independent. Namely, all the strings of any combination of any characters in the repertoire are designed to be allocatable by different TLD applicants. However, JGP knows that CGP wants to define variants in RootLGR, and JGP currently intends to compromise by basically importing variant definitions from CGP. This means that such strings that have variants in C will be packaged also in J, although they are originally intended to be independent. From Japanese point of view, as all the characters are considered to be originally independent, all the strings in the package should be allocatable even if they can be delegated to the same applicant. Moreover, the probability of some applicant's intention to apply for a specific string in the package is equal for all the strings in the package. issue-2 If limitation of the number of delegated variant strings is intended to be implemented, it should be done in application phase or application evaluation phase - not by RootLGR <reasoning> As discussed in (1), the probability of "which string is preferred" depends on the specific string that is applied for or that is accessed by the users. Namely, it depends on how much the specific string is well-known to the users. This means it's not possible for us to define WLE before asking each applicant about which variant strings they want to apply for. In that case, if we want to limit the number of delegated strings or to assess whether it is appropriate for the applied-for string picked up from the package, we need to engage measures after application(s) of specific string(s) is(are) made. ==

Re: [ChineseGP] [Integrationpanel] FW: Examples of complicated domainname
by Asmus Freytag May 15, 2015

May 15, 2015

Dear Yoneya-san, I appreciate these examples and I was able to verify that they do lead to the same domains. It would appear that there is a practice by some Japanese applicants to treat certain combinations of old and new Kanji as variants. And I think you have made your case that the selection of which variants to treat that way depends on the applicant (and presumably the meaning of the label) and therefore is not easily captured by a mechanical rule. I would appreciate if the JGP could include this analysis (and examples) in their LGR proposal as part of the rationale for their choice of assigning variant types. I expect it will influence the review by the Integration panel. Now, separately, there was the question raised "what about variants introduced by integration that are not 'semantic' variants in Japanese?". Are there cases of delegated labels where the variants are from that subset? It would appear that unlike the old vs. new Kanji variants they must be really rare (or non-existant), because they would be unrelated in Japanese. So it would be meaningless for an applicant to have a) registered both and b) directed them to the same domain.

The key thing is to remember that from the XML formalism, one is free to use any "type" values whatsoever, and any "disposition" values whatsoever -- because the XML format is intended for ALL types of domains, not just the root. For the Root Zone LGR project, the IP has defined the type "out-of-repertoire-var" and provided a default WLE <action> to resolve it. That definition was made in the MSR. Several of the documents that the IP created, including "Packaging the MSR and LGR" (see the LGR Root Zone Project wiki) describe how to use it.

Do you think it is practical ? >> In general, the Root Zone process only allows the two dispositions "allocatable" and "blocked" for variant labels (as well as "invalid" for labels that are not valid at all). And dispositions for the labels are not redefinable. I understand from Yoneya-san's examples that there is a common practice of multiple labels treated as variant labels by their applicant in the .jp domain (and that the choice is not predictable by any rule). These examples are good evidence that there is a rational basis for allowing at least some of the CGP variants to be considered "allocatable" in the JGP LGR. This suggestion of an "allocatable-reserved" disposition would indicate, there may be some other CGP variants for which considering them "allocatable" in the JGP LGR is not as motivated. In other words, there are some facts, which would make certain combinations of variants very unlikely -- perhaps so unlikely that they do not need to be supported in the root. If that is the case, we need to understand how unlikely such combinations are. Would an "exception" be needed rarely, but still relatively often? Or is the desire to allow an exception mostly to prevent even the risk of disallowing a single label? The reason I am asking these questions is, that for the root zone, we are requested to be conservative. Because of that, if some rule leads to the prevention of a few possible labels (that are unusual to begin with), it is more acceptable to not support such labels in the root, than to make complicated additions to the system. Therefore, the investigation by the JGP has to be whether it isn't acceptable to treat these labels (where CGP variants are not semantically related) as "blocked" instead of "allocatable-reserved". If the result is that a small percentage of exceptional variant labels that might have been allowed under the second level cannot be allowed under the root, it would likely be better to live with such a restriction. This would be in the spirit of "conservatism". So, whether or not the Root Zone LGR process can actually create a disposition like the proposed "alloctable-reserved" (and our hands may be tied by the procedure) it would be important to have examples of actual cases and an understanding on whether simply making these "blocked" would be unduly restrictive in practice (and not just in theory). In other words, it would be important to have the same kind of use cases as Yoneya-san sent for the semantically related (old-vs.-new ideograph) variants. A./
