Notes from the F2F meeting, March 14th, Copenhagen
by Mirjana Tasić March 16, 2017

March 16, 2017

Dear colleagues, Here are some notes from the F2F meeting in Copenhagen held on March 14th, 2017. I am asking Mats, Michael and Sarmad to correct and clarify these notes, if I did not understand something correctly, or forgot some important facts to note. Regards Mirjana --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following GP members were present on the meeting: Mats Dufberg Michael Bauland Mirjana Tasić Sarmad Hussain Danko Jevtović Some names from audience: Zarko Kecić Nenad Marinković Asmus Freytag Marc Blanchet Dušan Stojičević Yaovi Atohoun Mohamed Shehu Dmitry Kohmanyuk Some more ….. 1. 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. May be to group languages by EGIDS and number of people who speak this language, and to do it in a few rounds. · GP should focus on everyday use of the languages that will be processed, not to chase staff that does not fit in the scope of the project · There is an error in number of Latin code points in MSR 2, it should be something around 326 with diacritics (mea culpa, Mirjana checked it, and made mistake, someone other than Mirjana should recheck the table) · It is expected from Latin GP to give preliminary list of homoglyphs between Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian and Greek alphabet. 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. It is agreed to organize Latin GP Face to Face meeting in Belgrade in May. RNIDS, national domain registry of Serbia will provide working space and refreshments for this meeting, ICANN IDN project will consider the number of sponsored travel and hotel expenses for GP members.

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.
