Dear All,

Here is the text from the chat room during the Cyrillic GP meeting:

==================

Oleksandr Tsaruk: I cannot use my PC mic?

Mike Brennan: i have enabled your microphone

Oleksandr Tsaruk: Tnx

Mike Brennan: do you want to try speaking Oleksandr

John Klensin: Could people please identify themselves before speaking. Hearing isolated and unrecognized voices makes RP very hard.

Sarmad Hussain: Here is the link for the document repository: https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Document+Repository

John Klensin: May I comment on the "unique characters for different langauges issues" question?

John Klensin: FWIW, part of that discussion is why I dislke trying to establish uniform LGR rules at the 2nd level so much. If a domain is already established as "Russian" or "Serbian" at the TLD level, I think it is likely to be quite reasonable to use Russian-specific or Serbian-specific characters (respectively and not both in the same label) at the second level as long as people are careful about cross-tree aliases and remember that the DNS can't enforce the rules. At the top level, howver, there are many advantages to being very, very, conservative.

John Klensin: It would be _really_ nice if people would consistently use ISO-style dates (YYYY-MM-DD [HH:MM) in documents like this. Saves a lot of confusion.]

Daniel Kalchev: John, I very much agree on both points.

John Klensin: Getting ahead of the plan document, an additional thought about , e.g., "established as Russian", "identified as Servian", etc. at the top level (also applies to other scripts probably at a whole-label level above the lGR process): identification of that sort should depend on something very explicit, not depending on users figuring it out from subtle clues like the presence or absence of language-specific characters.

Regards,
Sarmad
