Re-starting Latin GP meetings
by Sarmad Hussain March 28, 2017

March 28, 2017

Dear All, We had a good session at ICANN 58 meeting. We would now like to re-start our fortnightly meetings online. As some new members have recently joined and we have also had time change in some countries, we are doing a doodle poll to find out the day/time which is most convenient for most (if not all) members for next six months. Please visit http://doodle.com/poll/crqnkmuyncw5bbm2. We have members, which come from Papua New Guinea and Vietnam from the east and the Americas in the west. So I have kept a wide variety of time slots. Please be as generous in the choices you mark so that we can possibly find a time convenient for everybody. Please respond by 27 March and I will collate the results and share early next week. Based on the feedback, we will try to schedule a meeting next week. We will use the time and day we finalize for our subsequent fortnightly meetings as well. Regards, Sarmad

Mirjana, I have two email addresses, npkurtboke(a)gmail.com and this one. My full Turkish name, which ia Nebiye Petek Kurtböke (and a she) is very difficult to remember and to pronounce correctly even for Turks, let alone for foreigners! Many people outside Turkey think it's not a female name and call me Peter! Anyway, you could use either email addresses or just the abbreviation of my name NPK.

After the presentation of Latin GP, during the discussion, there were some recommendations and suggestions given by Asmus Freytag that are important for future work of Latin GP: · If there are suggestions to include some cases where Latin is used for transliterations, we must find examples how it is used for creating domain names. (Pinyin for example) · The attestation of Latin code points should be organized in the most expedite way. It is to the panel to organize itself.

This is necessary to include finished LGR for Armenian and Cyrillic scripts in Root zone LGR. · Latin GP should try to consider different level of glyph similarities 1. Some people from Africa has been invited to take part in Latin GP face to face meeting to offer them to engage themselves in the work of Latin panel, or to spread the word that Latin GP need volunteers from Africa region. 2.

Help needed in engagement text for new GP members
by Mirjana Tasić March 16, 2017

March 16, 2017

Dear GP members, Please read the following few phrases, and help me to make them better. The purpose of the text is to explain to ordinary people, who I am trying to engage, why we need them in our panel. I met some people from Africa and Pacific islands during ICANN meeting, and I promised to give them some explanation what we are doing, and why we need people who speak indigenous languages. This explanation will help them to understand our work and to try to find some people who are willing to take part in our work. Regards Mirjana. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. What is Latin Generation Panel? A. Latin Generation Panel (Latin GP) is working group within ICANN IDN Project. Its main goal is to define all Latin script characters with diacritics which are eligible for use in creation Top Level Domains. Top Level Domain is the rightest part of the domain name. For example, in the domain name “something.com” the label “com” is Top Level Domain i.e. TLD. Q. Why we need engagement of people who speak native languages using Latin script? A. Latin GP needs people who speak native languages and write these languages using Latin script from all over the world. Especially Latin GP needs people from Asia Pacific region, Africa and both Americas. Native speakers are needed in several phases of the project. No special expertize is needed to become a member of Latin GP, although it will be good in someone has linguistic expertise in indigenous languages from the specified parts of the world.
