Hi all, I may have misunderstood our mandate, but perhaps this discussion is useful just for clarifying it. On Wed, Feb 26, 2025 at 11:30:50PM +0100, Amadeu Abril i Abril (CORE) (amadeu.abril@corenic.org) wrote:
The LGR tables are “there” and (thankfully!!!) it is not our job to discuss/evaluate/amend them.
I understand that we're not supposed to amend them, but I don't see how we can do anything if we aren't allowed to discuss them. They do have an impact on what we're supposed to do, don't they.
Let’s take “Häagen-Dasz, a coined term meant to mean nothing in any language and not to be correct in any language. Our point is to discuss whehter .häagendasz and .haagendasz mahy coexist and if yes, under which conditions. “Correctness” of the labels in any other sense as “valid for TLD labels” is out of scope.
How can we decide or even meaningfully discuss about what should or should not be valid for TLD labels without considering the underlying language issues? The real life impact of the decision can be drastically different for real words and names and for such made-up words. If we can't take that into account, I don't see what we have to do at all. -- Tapani Tarvainen
