Dear Hazem,

Thank you for your email.

Decisions about scope haven’t been made.

I do like the idea of a slide mentioning Arabic chat language, standard Romanizations, such as Pinyin for Chinese, etc.

It turns out that the limit is actually seven minutes. The rule of thumb, however, is that a PowerPoint slide takes two minutes to explain, so that’s actually a tougher limit than seven slides.

Incidentally, I’m also intending to add countries and languages to the member list.

Regards,

Chris.

I don't know if Arabic chat language, being a casual language, should be considered as one if the languages using Latin script?.
If so, we could add a line at the 3rd slide pointing to it, since non-arabic speakers barely knows about it.

Dear colleagues,

Please find attached the first draft of a presentation intended for the IDN Program session (10:30 on Monday 21 Sept.) at ICANN Dublin.

I had originally hoped to be able to give more than one regional example, but there is a maximum slide limit of seven slides. Meikal Mumin has contributed a slide on Latin script use in Africa for this purpose. If we want to do more than one example, one of the other slides will need to go …

Anyway, as usual, I welcome your corrections, edits and additions, by UTC 21:00 on Thursday 1 October.

Incidentally, please send any final edits for the Armenian public comment by UTC 21:00 tomorrow, Tues. 29 September.
