["Ron Andruff" <randruff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members,

 

Dennis Jennings responded to my question about the purpose of the closed
script variants meetings on Saturday in Singapore as noted below.  I trust
that this clarifies the matter for others, as it does for me.

 

Kind regards,

Marilyn, Ron,

I hear that there may be some concern or confusion about the closed IDN
sessions on Saturday 18th in Singapore.

These are the working sessions of the case study teams for six the scripts
(Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, and Latin) being studied as
part of the IDN variant TLDs issues project. 

The ICANN IDN Variant Issues Project (VIP):

ICANN issued a call for volunteers on 19 April, see
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-20apr11-en.htm

On 9 June 2011, ICANN announcement the start of the case studies, see
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-3-09jun11-en.htm

The sessions on Saturday are closed because they are working sessions for
the members of the working groups, in the same manner as the teleconferences
of other WGs. However, the archives of mailing lists for the case studies
are accessible to anyone
https://community.icann.org/display/VIP/Mailing+Lists

Additionally there is an open mailing list where anyone can subscribe and
discuss. Case study teams will post work in progress periodically and engage
in discussions with community, see https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/vip

There will be an open public meeting on the Monday in Singapore to update
the community on the IDN VIP.

If I can provide any more information, please let me now.

Many thanks
Dennis
