Dear Jefsey, The idea for this training came about because we have staff working on the IDN variant program who are new to the program and the work that has taken place in the last three years. Staff typically organize these brown bag lunch sessions where there is a topic we are interested to learn about. In this informal session, we wanted to talk about work completed and what the next set of projects in the program. Much of what we will discuss is already described on the IDN variant page (http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn). I don't have the materials prepared for this yet but it will be just an informal and informative staff lunch. Thank you, Naela On 6/8/13 9:37 AM, "JFC Morfin" <jefsey@jefsey.com> wrote:
Dear Naela,
that the training is for staff only does not remove the interest of Pascal's question. The planning is of interest to take advante from ICANN's expertise in drafting it. It is even more interesting now, so we may know what the Staff should know or may ignore. I am in particular interested in knowing what the status of the peculiar "babel names" form of (ASCII/punnycode) variance and the current position of WIPO about them.
Best Jefsey
