Re: [Latingp] Cross-script analysis Armenian and Greek, and overview slides
Bill, Mats Thanks for your feedback. I have carefully reviewed your input, so let me address each one of your points: 1. “I really do not understand what bullet 1 in slide 4 means. Please elaborate.” And “I am not clear what you are trying to say in point 1.”, this referring to Slide 4 as well. * It refers to the principle by which this panel will determine variants sets for the Latin script, that is within-script variants. Specifically, “sufficiently universal” means that whether certain characters are used as equivalents across an important majority of the languages using the Latin script. * We received positive feedback from IP. Verbatim “The actual guiding principle (contained in the second paragraph of the document) appears to cover the important considerations and will likely serve the GP well in arriving at at [sic] list of proposed candidate variants” * Both of you should be aware of this since you (Bill) presented and explained it during ICANN Abu Dhabi. Please review the panel presentation on slide 36. 2. “I do not believe that we actually agreed that only exact homoglyphs would be considered variants. I know that this is *your* view. I just don't think is was anything resembling a consensus of the team. And conversations with the Integration Panel have made clear that it is not a mandate from them.” * These statements are inaccurate. * We agreed on the principles and applied it to the cross-script analysis of Latin-Cyrillic, which is now complete. * Not my view, but the requirement by which the IP expects this GP to do its work. On this, IP has consistently reminded this GP “the kinds of variants to be defined in the Root Zone LGR are limited to homoglyphs, which are characters with essentially identical appearance by design, instead of merely similar appearance.” (IP Feedback to Latin GP, 22 March 2017). And “In the context of the Root Zone, the Procedure is quite clear in that it considers simple similarity of appearance to be outside the scope of the Root Zone LGR.” (IP Feedback to Latin GP, 18 October 2017).

Hi all, I agree with Dennis and his comments regarding homoglyphs. It was a team decision then to only consider homoglyphs (and not Dennis' personal view). This of course does not mean that all (or some) of us believe that it is the right way to do. We just thought at that point that we have to do it that way, because the IP demanded it. Now, with additional information at hand (especially the fact that some other GPs seem to have interpreted this much broader and seem to get through with it), we could discuss whether this is really the right/best approach. This should be one of the topics for our meeting next week.

I think Michael has it: "We just thought at that point that we have to do it that way, because the IP demanded it." Which isn't, at least in my mind, the same thing as saying that we had agreement that we should do it that way.

On the first point, I wasn't objecting. I was just failing to understand at that point. Now that I do understand (I think) I have to say that I do not recall us deciding that a variant had to be regarded as interchangible in their language by a significant number of our users. I thought we were closer to "users will routinely not notice the difference." (But it does explain your previously inexplicable position that the schwa and the turned E were not variants.)
