Dear LD PDP WG, As we prepare for our upcoming discussions on the scope of our work (PR1 and PR39), please find attached a Scoping Exercise document drafted by Mark Datysgeld, Vice-Chair of LD PDP, based on his personal assessment of the subject and the WG's agreement. We hope that this document, along with the points raised by Tapani, will serve as a useful foundation for our discussions – particularly as we consider the comments received on PR1 and reflect on the scope of our work. The summary of Mark's points is as follows: - Changing the RZ-LGR has been explicitly outside of the scope of the PDP from its inception. - The WG has consensus that broader issues are intentionally left to future PDPs so this one can remain narrower, as was very directly and precisely asked of us by the GNSO community. - We did not decline the broader model because we failed to notice it. We declined it because adopting it with due responsibility would have required a materially different Charter, a much longer horizon, and a much larger policy design exercise than was allowed and asked of us. *In addition, a list of non-diacritic or non-decomposable cases and why they don't comply or make sense within our PDPs is included. Kindly review both Mark's and Tapani's inputs in advance, as they will be important for our discussion on character choices and definitions during the meeting on Wednesday.

So everybody has the chance to look at this and we can discuss it during Wednesday's call. I would like everybody to read and think about Tapani's arguments. If understood this correctly, it mainly is about whether diacritics are only those characters, which are decomposable into an ASCII character and one or more diacritics (i.e., Combining Diacritical Marks https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300.... <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300....> <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300....> <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300.html>> <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300....> <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300.html>> <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300.html>> <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0300.html&gt;>>)?__;!!PtGJab4!67jJLzYSS-eOjjI-7xFxB66ApyuWTl7w34kHmAIWtYmHAN9JevxGmkO7bcmziMFYsV2xGvE_K8qWqZt81isPo6gJ3nuUsrfSmA$ [unicode[.]org] Or whether characters that are not decomposable, but still have a name like: "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE" which denotes a composition of ASCII and something else should be considered as diacritics?
