Ariel cc as above

Good evening; thank you for the opportunity to input into this important debate; and thank you for being flexible with the response deadline.

Would like, for GAC to endorse the draft responses to the Charter Questions A5 and A6. Would make the following observations:

1). In general the GAC seeks, along with many others, an enhanced opportunity for multilingualism on the Internet; and thus an IDN process which, within technical constraints, is as flexible and attractive (to vendors) as possible;

2). That while we should take note, and learn from all the excellent work that has taken place previously, we should be innovative and ambitious in our work to help enhance the adoption of IDNs;

Specifically on A5:

Completely agree we should not, in any sense, set arbitrary limits on variants; this would be very negative;
Agree that "Guidance" would, of course, be useful.

Specifically on A6:

It would be very negative indeed, as noted in the WG response, to have a situation where a varian is invalidated through no action on the applicant's behalf;
Ay potential issue, necessitating, a change to RZ-LGR should be publicised well in advance with necessary information communicated to all interested parties;
Completely agree that grandfathering has to apply.

many regards

Nigel

Dear All,

Please find the draft outcome language for charter questions A5 and A6 on this google doc, pp.6-11: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bt0LT45UaLynFNverh1nJhyvq6q6NxgSFAOnOp2LG44/edit?usp=sharing (it is also posted on the wiki page here: https://community.icann.org/x/XwyHCg).

Following the agreed format, the draft outcome language includes the following components:

Brief answer to the charter question
Recommendations and implementation guidance
Rationale for recommendations and implementation guidance

We would like to highlight the following elements:

Recommendation 1.5 under A5 (p.6): this proposed recommendation may be revisited after the EPDP Team tackles other charter questions; additional details may need to be fleshed out.
Recommendation 1.6 under A6 (p.9): please pay particular attention to the proposed definition of “grandfathering” and provide input, if any.

Please provide any input/suggestion for the draft outcome language on the mailing list by Tuesday, 22 January. Any substantive comments will be discussed during the EPDP Team meeting in about two weeks.

Best Regards,

Steve, Emily, Ariel
