Thanks Ariel. I've taken a preliminary look at the proposal, and it appears to me that commenting on the proposal would require a deep knowledge of the Arabic script. We may therefore need to first check with our Arabic-speaking ALSes if they have comments. satish On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 7:17 PM, Ariel Liang <ariel.liang@icann.org> wrote:
