Dear Pitinan, Many, many thanks for your presentation and the practical suggestions it includes. I have taken the liberty of uploading it to the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information WG wiki on a new page: https://community.icann.org/display/tatcipdp/8+Verification+and+validation It raises some things we have already discussed (e.g. translation/transliteration of addresses and Romanization standards, with some lovely examples) and mentions some standards we haven't yet talked about (UNGEGN and UPU).

There was the APTLD annual meeting held in conjunction with APRICOT 2014 in Malaysia Feb 20-21, 2014. And we presented there, in the agenda of "Validation of Address Information - and transliteration to a Foreign Language" Therefore, I'd like to update the working group with the presentation slide as attached. The objective of the talk was to encourage each country to be proactive in this issue.
