Hi All, In preparation for tomorrow’s meeting, I reviewed the spreadsheet of the 191 National Society identifiers. Note that Stephane has sent me a slightly updated version from the one he sent back on 30 April 2018, but is attached here. Below you will find some notes and a list of detailed rows that the WG should review through as we get to a final definitive list to be submitted to the GNSO Council, but also to refine/expand the variant criteria that can be used for maintenance of this list should new societies be formed after implementation. The goal here, as per the principles discussed in prior WG calls, is to refine and ready this definitive list for the DNS label algorithm. Ultimately, the Tab 2 list below is an inventory of rows that likely need correction to ready the list of identifiers for the algo. For explanations about the construction of the spreadsheet, please refer to emails sent to the list from Stephane: · Feb 2018 - https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo/2018-February/000120.html · Apr 2018 - https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo/2018-April/000131.html Please refer to the XLS attachment: Tab 1 “icrc_ifrc_identifiers”: · Cells containing red text should be deleted as the original recommendation for these is protection in the UN6 only Tab 2 “national_societies” (current count 3,999 identifiers): · Many National Societies contained the use of "National" in their common name for which our working draft of variant options did not document. Should this be added as a variant category? · Several National Societies also contained a variation of Nationality vs. Country (ex. Ethiopian vs. Ethiopia) in their common name for which our working draft of variant options did not document. Should this be added as a variant category? · For Linguistic versions and translations of the of identifiers, please refer to the Feb 2018 email above for context of short versions of the names, many of which are highlighted below from an inventory perspective. · Within the XLS you will notice several cells highlighted in yellow, please refer to the Feb 2018 email above for context. I’d note that the Red Cross representatives have mentioned to me that the these are not intended for inclusion in the reservation of these identifiers, but were included to help understand how a society uses these in their respective country. I continue to highlight below, because there will ultimately be deleted as we narrow down the definitive list. · Row 16 - Red Cross (w/ translation in Dari/Pashto) · Rows 170 to 171 - Red Crescent Society, Red Cross (w/ translation in Azerbaijani/Russian) · Rows 290 to 293 - Red Cross Society, The Red Cross Society, Red Cross (w/ translation in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian), The Red Cross · Rows 319 to 321 - The Red Cross, Red Cross (w/ translation in Portuguese), Brazilian Red Cross Association · Row 332 - use of "charity" – see Feb 2018 email above on Branches or sub-divisions · Row 404 - The Red Cross · Rows 489 to 498 - use of "headquarters", "/", "Association" · Rows 559 to 581 - use of "Côte d'Ivoire" (non-English?, might be converted to u-label), several location names like Ivory Coast · Rows 635 to 636 - The Red Cross, Red Cross (w/ translation in Czech) · Row 804 - The Red Cross (w/ translation in Finnish/Swedish) · Rows 805 to 824 - variations on the former republic; Should this be added as a variant category? · Rows 889 to 890 - The Red Cross, Red Cross (w/ translation in German) · Rows 943 to 950 - The use of "-" as part of official name and common name · Row 1074 - The Red Crescent (w/ translation in Arabic /Kurdish) · Row 1179 - Red Cross Society (w/ translation in Swahili) · Row 1218 - The use of "public association" as part of common name · Rows 1315 to 1317 - Lithuanian Red Cross organization, Red Cross, Red Cross society (w/ translation in Lithuanian) · Rows 1376 - Red Crescent society (w/ translation in Malay) · Rows 1393 to 1396 - use of "republic" · Rows 1553 to 1556 - contains non-readable strings in Burmese · Rows 1605 to 1606 - The Red Cross, Red Cross (w/ translation in Dutch/Papiamento) · Rows 1597 to 1604 - contains multiple locations under the Netherlands territory · Row 1600 - column F duplicates the English version · Rows 1602 to 1604 - column F contains the English versions variants instead of translated · Row 1663 - Red Cross (w/ translation in Norwegian/New Norwegian) · Rows 1700 to 1701 - Red Crescent, The Red Crescent (w/ translation in Arabic) · Row 1715 - The National Society of the Panamanian Red Cross (w/ translation in Spanish) · Row 1739 - Red Cross (w/ translation in Spanish / Guaraní) · Rows 1824 to 1843 - use of "republic" in formal and common names; candidate for variant? · Rows 1844 to 1859 - use of "republic" in formal and common names; candidate for variant? · Row 1884 - "All-Russia non-government organization «Russian Red Cross»" - contains "<<>>" + "-" + other generic terms (w/ translation in Russian); could exceed 63 char · Rows 1949 to 1964 - use of "São Tomé" (non-English?, might be converted to u-label) · Row 1975 - The Red Crescent Authority (w/ translation in Arabic) · Rows 2066 to 2093 - use of several variations on Somali · Rows 2078 to 2079 - Red Crescent, The Red Crescent (w/ translation in Somali/Arabic) · Row 2130 - Red Cross (w/ translation in Spanish / Guaraní) · Row 2179 - Red Cross (w/ translation in Spanish / Swedish) · Rows 2216 to 2217 - use of the word "Organization" · Row 2218 - The Red Crescent (w/ translation in Arabic) · Row 2246 - Red Cross Society (w/ translation in Swahili) · Rows 2259 to 2266 - The use of "-" as part of official name and common name · Rows 2325 - Red Crescent (w/ translation in Turkish) · Rows 2379 to 2380 - Red Cross, Red Cross in Ukraine ["in"] (w/ translation in Українська/Русский) · Rows 2381 to 2400 - several variation on Emirates · Rows 2414 to 2427 - duplicates of translations in columns E & F Thank you.
