Suggested BoF at the ICANN meeting in Los Angeles
by Cary Karp Sept. 8, 2014

Sept. 8, 2014

Considering the elements of the Latin script that can safely be included in the code point repertoire for IDN labels in the root zone is a topic of significant interest. It will be dealt with by a dedicated Latin Script Generation Panel, the formation of which is imminent. The final report of the ICANN VIP Study Group for the Latin Script <https://archive.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/latin-vip-issues-report-07oct…> provides an extensive listing of the code points that can be considered by that GP. The report also comments on a range of issues involved in collating a subset of the full Latin repertoire for any specific purpose. The report therefore has obvious potential as a seed document for the work of the GP. I would therefore like to propose a BoF early during the ICANN meeting in Los Angeles to discuss bridging the work of the Latin VIP group and the impending Latin Script GP. The BoF could also consider other key issues in extending the current ASCII repertoire into the IDN facet of the root zone, if nothing else, as a warm-up exercise for any sessions on the subject that ICANN might otherwise be planning. (BoF = “Birds of a Feather” -- an ad hoc gathering of people with a shared interest in a topic preliminary to structured action on it.) Are any other list members interested in this? /Cary
