The report provides both detailed arguments in favor and opposing mandatory transformation and indicates that a majority of the Working Group currently recommends against mandatory transformation and/or transliteration of Contact Information. The Working Group hopes that community feedback will maximize its consensus level for the Final Report and, therefore, its members strongly encourage the Community to provide additional arguments in favor/opposing mandatory transformation of contact information data further to facilitate the WG's consensus building process.
