We have implemented Aliasing with following rules, which is being used by our customers. 1. Single Mailbox / store for multiple IDs.2. No limitation on number of aliases.3. No limitation based on scripts.4. Allow authentication / configuration in email clients with alias.5. Make Default Alias, to be used automatically, when sending email to non-UTF8 compliant server, or use punnycode. 6. Webmail Client to enable search based on From+To combination too. A Small video showing creating an Alias on mobile app is here and through webmail is here. Needless to say, the logs / headers are also modified accordingly. thanks.

I`ve encountered a few names with pronunciations based on archaic soundings of specific kanjis, but never realized that there was so much freedom to assign one`s own preference . Then again, I grew up as "swan ZAIR ik", and have dabbled with several alternate pronunciations since. That always seemed like an option since &Scaron and č and aren`t familiar to Americans at all.. I`d think Kanji would be more "enforced" . /marksv -----Original Message----- From: ua-eai-bounces@icann.org [mailto:ua-eai-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Martin J.

We have a number of other points to consider:
The most user-friendly aliasing methods (between the EAI address and the ASCII address that point to the same user mailbox) may be script-specific. UASG should make a proposal for a few scripts and let communities handle the rest .
Or they may be language-specific, or they may be individual preferences of the users . As an example, the fallback for "ü" in German would be "ue", but in French or Spanish, it would be "u". But there might be individual exceptions, where people have different preferences . For most non-Latin scripts, there are at least a few different transliterations or transcriptions, and they may differ by language . Some communities may be able to find a consensus on a single way of how to do it, but others may not. And each user may have their own preference . In addition, some scripts and some languages are not very phonemic (think about English, where the relationship between pronunciation and spelling is quite loose). This creates additional issues when trying to convert to ASCII with some simple rules . The toughest example may be Japanese. There are not really any rules about how to pronounce or transcribe names. The same Kanji spelling may be read in various different ways. Family names may be somewhat easier, because they are essentially a closed set (although with a long tail) . But for given names, parents can (and do) make up names at will, and they can just take some Kanji they like, and can assign them a pronunciation they like. Absolutely impossible to cover that with rules, even before we get into the question of what transcription method to use .
