Sarmad, The traceability matrix looks fine to me. A couple of observations from my review: 1. We didn’t review appendices A and B from v3. I think we should spend some time discussing whether a revised version or removal is warranted, or nothing at all. Of course, if we do include additional information into the draft this would mean another public comment period. 2. In recommendation 13 we refer to a lot of documents and we probably want to be very specific as to which sections of those documents are relevant to the guidelines. I believe we need to be very specific in references since this document is binding for gTLDS. I’m ok with resuming the calls next week at 10:00 am UTC but if you want to do a doddle poll, that’s fine with me as well.

Dear All, Based on our discussion during the call this week, please find attached the final draft of the IDN Guidelines 4.0. The comments received by WG members will be considered during the WG call in the coming week, after which the document will be finalized - to be released for public comments soon after (and before ICANN 58). All changes agreed during the calls have been accepted in this draft. The redlined text indicates some suggested edits. All the "will" occurrences which have been changed to "must" have been highlighted. Please let us know if any of these should be changed to "should" or other phrases. We also agreed to use either a "label" (to represent a part of a domain name) or a "domain name" to represent a domain with multiple labels - and not use just "domain" or just "name". Thus, all occurrences of the latter two terms have been replaced with "domain name". Changes are in redline and should also be verified. The glossary section still needs input. I have tried to include definitions from various document which require your review. There are some terms which still need to be defined. Thank you all for the significant effort put in to finalize the work. We will be presenting these guidelines at two sessions during ICANN 58: 1. Full 75 minute session: https://schedule.icann.org/event/9nmh/icann-gdd-idn-implementation-guidelin… 2. Short 7 minute update: https://schedule.icann.org/event/9nqW/idn-program-update Please add these sessions to your calendars and hope to see many of you there. regards, Sarmad

Dear All, I’m fine with both versions of the presentation. The only observation I have is with this statement under Purpose (of the WG). * Designed to address end-user concerns, e.g. user confusion I suggest we use the language in the Call for Community Experts which states “… designed to minimize the risk of cybersquatting and consumer confusion…” -Dennis From: <idngwg-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Sarmad Hussain <sarmad.hussain(a)icann.org> Date: Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 9:29 AM To: "idngwg(a)icann.org" <idngwg(a)icann.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Idngwg] ICANN 58 Presentations on IDN Implementation Guidelines Dear All, Please find attached the long and the short presentations for the two sessions at ICANN 58, for your review. For the long presentation, I have included the exact wording of the recommendations. Where there are explanations, these have been pushed to the next page of the recommendation (starting with "continued" so that these can be easily skipped, if needed). I will update the guidelines in these presentations, once these are finalized after our meeting next week. Currently the reflect what is in the document circulated yesterday. Please let us know your feedback. regards, Sarmad
