All,

During the call this week I promised to produce a draft of a proposed process for handling singulars and plurals without the need for creating new definitions for things like "holding sets" or specifying all the details as to who has to evaluate these issues, etc.

Susan Payne and I are submitting this proposal for your views;  It can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H1YWCl1Nt1HV4RWESOvI5h7RBXVnXJSfzdbjpzmWFx8/edit?usp=sharing

Anyone with the link can access and make comments in the google doc.    

There are 3 parts to this document:

  1. An overall description of the process
  2. Detailed implementation notes explaining why we chose this process and individual components.
  3. Some examples.

We also believe that this proposal would not involve creating content-based requirements for the Registry Agreements.  Rather, they are based on Registrant Eligibility.

We look forward to discussing this within the group.

Sincerely,

Jeff
