Re: [ccnso-idncctld] Linguistic Experts Committee

["J. William Semich" <bill@xxxxxx>]

Hello Chris et al;

In the interest of maintaining the "fast track" approach, as well as  
maintaining as neutral an approach as possible to the factors IANA  
uses in considering a delegation or redelegation of a ccTLD, I  
suggest modifying the language in the document titled "Some notes on  
the Committee of Linguistic Experts and Technical Committee" to  
better reflect IANA practice and the language of RFC-1591 and ICP-1.
Here's the original language in that paragraph:

It is an overarching principle that the methodology has to take into  
account and
be based on current practices for delegation and re-delegation. Under  
those
IANA does due diligence to check that there is support/acceptance  
from the
relevant stakeholders, including the relevant public authority in the  
territory.  It
is the responsibility of the proposed IDN ccTLD operator to submit  
satisfactory
evidence of the demonstrated support/acceptance in territory.


I suggest you modify the language of the first full paragraph of that  
document.
Here's my proposed new paragraph, with my proposed changes and  
additions in upper case:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--------------
It is an overarching principle that the methodology has to take into  
account and
be based on current practices for delegation and re-delegation. Under  
those
IANA does due diligence to check that there is COMMUNICATION WITH  
[DELETE: "support/acceptance from"] the
relevant stakeholders, including the relevant public authority in the  
territory, AND THAT THE RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND  
SUPPORT/ACCEPT, OR AT A MINIMUM DO NOT OBJECT TO, THE DELEGATION. It  
is the responsibility of the proposed IDN ccTLD operator to submit  
satisfactory evidence [DELETE: of the demonstrated] THAT APPROPRIATE  
COMMUNICATION WITH RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS HAS BEEN MADE AND THAT THERE  
IS support/acceptance, OR AT A MINIMUM NO OBJECTION, in THE territory.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--------------
I believe abiding by these small changes in the language will assure  
that the "fast track" is, in fact, fast.
Regards,

Bill Semich
