Apralo has clarified its statement in the objected IDN, the intended vote was "NO" on forwarding the IDN objection.
Having done internationalization and localization in Asian languages since the mid-80s, I'm concerned by the claim that the Han Script IDN does not, to a reasonable person literate in Chinese, mean ".health" So I asked. The GAC rep. from the PRC is of the view that the IDN means ".health". The World Health Organization's Director General's office has made the same determination -- that the IDN to be ".health". I reiterate that objecting to the Han Script application is prudent, and substantial support for objection will be submitted to Dev's group, and Dev, by mid-day tomorrow. Eric
