PLEASE RSVP Monthly GNSO WG Newcomer Open House Session
by Terri Agnew Aug. 28, 2014

Aug. 28, 2014

Reminder: Monthly GNSO WG Newcomer Open House Session These ongoing monthly sessions are for new GNSO WG participants to come together and discuss any questions they may have about GNSO Working Groups, procedures and/or processes. We know there is a lot of information to digest when you join a GNSO Working Group and these monthly meetings are an opportunity for newcomers and more experienced participants to meet in an informal setting without the pressure of "real work" that needs be done. The agenda is flexible. The presenters will be ready with a standard set of materials if people would like to discuss them. Feel free to submit questions, either in advance or at the beginning of the meeting, if there is a topic that you would like to explore in more depth . Providing useful answers to a wide range of questions is part of the reason why these meetings are Thursday 3 July at 20.00 UTC Thursday 7 August at 12.00 UTC Thursday 4 September at 20.00 UTC Thursday 2 October at 12.00 UTC Thursday 6 November at 20.00 UTC Thursday 4 December at 12.00 UTC To convert to your local time zone, please see <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html> http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html. If you are interested to join the next meeting on 3 July or any of the future meetings, please let the GNSO Secretariat know ( <mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> gnso-secs(a)icann.org) and we will send you the call details. If there are any specific questions you already have, or any overviews or introductions you think would be helpful (e.g. GNSO Policy Development Process or GNSO Working Group guidelines), please let us know in advance and we will prepare materials accordingly. Feel free to share this invitation with others that you think may be interested. We look forward to welcoming you at the next meeting! Nathalie Peregrine & Terri Agnew GNSO Secretariat

Themes for discussion
by Dillon, Chris July 30, 2014

July 30, 2014

Dear colleagues, I would like to assemble here some themes for discussion during tomorrow’s call, apart from the purposes/accuracy one that has already come up (see my earlier email below). Here are some other themes I am aware of: · Should we recommend that there should be an option for registrants voluntarily to input transformed contact information? · Should we recommend that something be done with legacy transformed contact information (i.e. contact information input using a different policy from what we are recommending)? · It seems likely that our recommendations for those cases when transformation occurs will not be binding. That would mean, for example, that C5 on when the policy comes into effect would need to be redrafted. · What should happen to transformed contact information created by other stakeholders? O2 may need redrafting. Please send any additional themes for discussion to this mailing list. I’ve attached the recommendations for your convenience. Regards, Chris. From: owner-gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg(a)icann.org [mailto:owner-gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg@icann.org] On Behalf Of Dillon, Chris Sent: 25 July 2014 11:00 To: gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg(a)icann.org Subject: [gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] Purpose and accuracy Dear colleagues, Ideally we need to add something about the purposes of contact information that require accuracy and those that don't. The Final report from the EWG on gTLD Directory Services has a good list of purposes from p.19-34. The Study to evaluate solutions for the submission and display of internationalized contact data has a useful section on Information accuracy for effective use on p.9 with three levels of accuracy suggested: 1. Requiring accurate transformation (e.g. valid in a court of law, matching information in a passport, matching information in legal incorporation etc.) 2. Requiring consistent transformation (allowing use of such information to match other information provided in another context, e.g. to match address information to a registrant on a Google map, etc.) 3. Requiring ad hoc transformation (allowing informal or casual version of the information in another language to provide more general accessibility) The last sentence of the study is of particular interest to us from the accuracy point of view and also from its summary of the state of the transformation tools etc.: "The study has found that provisioning and querying protocols are lacking either support or deployment for internationalized registration data, and that the tools tested are not providing a high level of transformation accuracy and consistency of internationalized registration data." Do we need a better analysis of purposes and accuracy? Does one exist? Incidentally, see https://community.icann.org/display/tatcipdp/7+Studies+and+Background+Docum… for links to the reports mentioned above.

Draft recommendations and next meetings
by Dillon, Chris July 24, 2014

July 24, 2014

Dear colleagues, Since the ICANN London meeting I have been drafting a recommendation document on translation and transliteration of contact information with the much appreciated support of Lars, Julie, Marika Konings and others. I am intending to present it at today's meeting. I shall circulate it about two hours before the meeting (earlier if possible). I then have another meeting until ours starts, so I will be out of contact. The draft is likely to generate quite a bit of discussion. I'm keen that this is largely done in writing to this list, so that new versions may be discussed during our meetings on 31 July and 14 August. I am travelling on 7 August and so can't make our meeting. It may still be possible to run that meeting, if Rudi is free. Incidentally, I had been thinking that we were coming out of our "read relevant documents" phase, but the drafting has indicated a couple of documents we still need to look at. Until later. Regards, Chris. -- Research Associate in Linguistic Computing, Centre for Digital Humanities, UCL, Gower St, London WC1E 6BT Tel +44 20 7679 1599 (int 31599) www.ucl.ac.uk/dis/people/chrisdillon<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dis/people/chrisdillon>

Transformation required at the validation stage?
by Dillon, Chris July 18, 2014

July 18, 2014

Dear colleagues, I just listened to last Thursday's call. It sounds as if you covered a lot of ground, although I haven't yet checked whether the FAQs Rudi circulated contain anything that didn't come up on the pages I highlighted as important for us as I read the Final report from the EWG on gTLD Directory Services. At one point Jim Galvin asked whether transformation would be required at the validation stage. I would say no to that question. The original language/script data are primary and suitable for validation. It's not that transformed data cannot be validated, but they need to be high quality (outside Greek, Cyrillic and alphabetic scripts often created by human being rather than a computer). Actually I think Rudi made a similar point later in the call, but just to clarify that.
