Dear All, Please find attached summary of the meeting of the WG on 24 Nov. Please let me know if there are any changes or suggestions. The meeting had the following AIs: S. No. Action Items Owner 1 Add footnote to refer to “code point sequences” and not add that in the text for readability SH 2 Draft recommendation for harmonization of LGRs to be put in Section 2.7. SH 3 Confirm with WG members if it is ok to move to a weekly schedule SH Here is the suggested text for review and feedback for AI 2 above: If a combination of multiple LGRs and/or IDN tables is used to generate labels for the same zone at the second (or other) level, there are harmonization requirements for a workable and secure system. The harmonization must be performed in cases where there are multiple LGRs and/or IDN tables either (i) from the same script which is known to have variant code points, e.g. based on analysis for the root zone, or (ii) from different scripts which are considered related in the root zone and have homoglyphs, e.g. Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin. In such cases, harmonization must be performed when there is either a change in existing LGR or addition of a new LGR. The harmonization must review code point repertoire, variant analysis and whole label evaluation rules to ensure that there are no security and stability issues introduced. Please also note that the WG members in the meeting suggested moving to a weekly schedule to make more progress. Please let us know, if this does not work for you for any reason. Otherwise we will switch to a weekly meetings. The next meeting is schedule for 1 Dec. 11am UTC. The attached notes of the meeting and the recording of the meeting are available at the IDNGWG wiki page at https://community.icann.org/display/IDN/IDN+Implementation+Guidelines.

Thank you Edmon. Dear All, I have added Edmon’s suggestions and summary of comments received during ICANN 57 (circulated earlier) in the attached updated draft. Where it seemed relevant, reference to “code point sequence” in addition to “code point” is also added. We will use this version for our discussion today.

Edmon =================================== 2.6 IDN Variant Labels (Partially Discussed) 2.6.1 IDN Variant Labels generated by an IDN Table or a LGR must be allocated to the same registrant or blocked. 2.6.2 Only IDN Variant Labels with a disposition of "allocatable" may be included in the DNS. IDN Variant Labels may be automatically delegated by the TLD registry in accordance with RFC 3743 (i.e. Preferred Variants), otherwise IDN Variant Labels may be activated when requested by the Registrant (or through a sponsoring Registrar) of the Primary IDN. =================================== =================================== Proposed Definitions to be included: =================================== Variant The term "variant" is used generally to identify different types of linguistic situations where different words are considered to be the same (i.e. a variant) of another word. Because of the wide-ranging understanding of the term, to avoid confusion more specific terms such as "IDN Variant", "IDN Variant Character" or "IDN Variant Label" should be used. =================================== IDN Variant (IDN Variant Character and IDN Variant Label) IDN Variant is defined by an LGR. The term "IDN Variant" maybe used to reasonably describe an IDN Variant Character (code point or code point sequence) or an IDN Variant Label depending on its context. An IDN Variant character is defined in relation to a base character within an IDN Table, such as expressed by an LGR. An IDN Variant Label is a string generated from a Primary IDN based on a given LGR (or IDN Table and IDN registration rules). =================================== Primary IDN Primary IDN is the string representing the domain name applied for submitted by a registrant. =================================== From: idngwg-bounces@icann.org <mailto:idngwg-bounces@icann.org> [mailto:idngwg-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Edmon Chung Sent: Monday, 21 November 2016 20:33 PM To: 'Sarmad Hussain' <sarmad.hussain@icann.org <mailto:sarmad.hussain@icann.org> >; idngwg@icann.org <mailto:idngwg@icann.org> Subject: Re: [Idngwg] ICANN 57 summary and resuming calls for IDNGWG Thanks Sarmad for the summary. Edmon From: idngwg-bounces@icann.org <mailto:idngwg-bounces@icann.org> [mailto:idngwg-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Sarmad Hussain Sent: Sunday, 20 November 2016 16:19 PM To: idngwg@icann.org <mailto:idngwg@icann.org> Subject: [Idngwg] ICANN 57 summary and resuming calls for IDNGWG Dear All, For those at ICANN 57, hope you have arrived home safely, rested and caught up with work. We had a good interaction at ICANN 57, where the room was full with community members. Thanks to Edmon for leading the session and for others for attending the session in person and remotely. We received feedback from the community. Here are some salient comments received (for those who attended, please feel free to add further). Please see the attached transcript[schd.ws] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__schd.ws_hosted-5Ffiles_i...> of the session for details. - Repertoire may contain code points AND code point sequences. So recommendations should be worded accordingly - Align definitions of label dispositions with those in RFC 7940 and clarify the label disposition state changes - Use of LGR (as a black box) should be explained in the guidelines to generate disposition and variants of a label - The relationship to root zone LGR and scope of guidelines may be clarified. Can anything be said for root zone LGR, i.e. how second level and root level LGRs are same or different? o We clarify how a particular point may be different at second level, from the root zone, in order to actually clarify the second level handling of that issue. o And if there are two LGRs that are in the same zone, even if it’s in the second level, they may have some harmonization requirements that are not really optional for a workable and secure system, which is different from parallel TLDs; Definition of a variant of a code point is unique and shared across all LGRs within a zone (within a single TLD) We would now like to resume our calls. I will schedule on for the coming week.
