Dear Rudi,
It’s good to see this issue highlighted. I have added it to
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=44960108 in the wiki.
With organizational names, there may even be a case for three fields: form in original script, translation and transliteration (the last being for organizations with
no English translated form). Instinctively, I don’t like the idea of having some records with translations and others with transliterations in the same field of a database.
Regards,
Chris.

Dear Chris,
Dear all,
When looking into the document Status update EWG, only page 53 and 80 mention the word „translation”. In annex A (page 61) I don’t see any indication of fields allowing the storage of translated or transliterated contact information. Perhaps
this is something we should emphasize a bit more in our discussions. If none is preparing a protocol / storage for translated/transliterated information our whole process does not have any effect. I know this looks quite pessimistic but it is a fact in none
of the actual documents I’ve seen any hint on this.
I’m preparing the promised excel sheet.
Till soon,
Rudi Vansnick

Dear WG members -
I thought this latest blog entry by Margie Milam on WHOIS accuracy might be useful to our discussion.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Lars
