Good Afternoon, After reviewing the calls and presentation material from the prior meetings I would like to raise a couple questions/concerns. Before getting into specific items in the plan and meeting slide decks it is important to clarify some terminology being used, specifically related to RDAP and a WHOIS replacement system. RDAP is not a replacement for the current WHOIS system, RDAP is a replacement (much improved with several new features) communications protocol intended to replace the current WHOIS port-43 services. The current WHOIS system is much bigger than the WHOIS port-43 services. And a WHOIS replacement system is much bigger than RDAP and is what the ongoing RDS PDP work is addressing. Looking at the Implementation Plan with this clarified understanding of RDAP and a WHOIS replacement system I think the group needs to consider the following items/issues: * As recommendation #7 indicates, all of the T/T recommendations "...should be coordinated with the other WHOIS modifications where necessary and are implemented and/or applied as soon as a WHOIS replacement system that can receive, store and display non-ASCII characters, becomes operational." As the WHOIS replacement system is being addressed by the RDS PDP, all of these T/T recommendations will need for the RDS PDP work to address these recommendations. * The initial assessment on page 4 regarding recommendations 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 seems to be based on a misconception of what RDAP is intended to replace. * I am not sure I follow what the following paragraph discussing recommendations 2 and 5 is saying. The first sentence seems to make sense but I am confused on the second sentence, what "recommendations" does this refer to, if it is the T/T recommendations I don't recall the RDAP profile that was published on 7/26/2016 addressed recommendations 2 and 5? I think the questions/concerns I had about the first meeting slide deck are handled above but I would like to dive in a bit more on some of the things in the second meeting slide deck. In the Q&A: * First Question: I don't think the wording of the answer truly reflects the recommendations of the T/T. Specifically recommendation #7 states the recommendations should be implement when the a WHOIS replacement system becomes operational (again, this work is being done in the RDS PDP and is not RDAP). * Third Question: The answer seems to continue the confusion of RDAP and a WHOIS replacement system. Hopefully what I have stated above clarifies. As for the Policy language discussions, they should be updated to reflect what RDAP is intended for and what makes up a WHOIS replacement system (Policy, Data, Communications, Display). When I read recommendation # 7, I see the output of this group being at most an examination and write-up of what we feel should be modified and this information shared with the RDS PDP group for their information and they will accept/modify based on their defined WHOIS replacement system.

I am planning to listen to the calls this afternoon. In reviewing the timeline I did not see another call scheduled until August 16th, is that correct? If so, I will post my questions and concerns to the mailing list next week but if we are having a call next week I will just bring them up on the call. Thanks Roger From: translationtransliterationirt-bounces@icann.org<mailto:translationtransliterationirt-bounces@icann.org> [mailto:translationtransliterationirt-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Brian Aitchison Sent: Friday, July 29, 2016 5:34 PM To: translationtransliterationirt@icann.org<mailto:translationtransliterationirt@icann.org> Subject: [Translationtransliterationirt] T/T call 2 policy language and discussion Hello all, Please find attached a draft of the proposed policy language for the T/T implementation. Please feel free to redline or annotate with comments and suggestions. We'll discuss on our Tuesday call. We'll also discuss the status of and issues surrounding the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group's Final Report<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2015-09-25-en>, which provides the data model for the T/T implementation. The two reports-T/T and IRD-were developed in tandem and were meant to be complementary. However, the nuance of the language in each has made the task of reconciling the two quite arduous, and your feedback on it will be much appreciated. Details to follow on Tuesday... I've also posted the implementation plan on the wiki. I extended our timeline by a few weeks as I imagine we'll have a few issues to discuss as they relate to the IRD report and language tags. Thanks very much all and have a great weekend!
