[ccnso-idncctld] 答复: [ccnso-idncctld] Draft Final Report

["zhangjian" <zhangjian@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear all:

 

As I mentioned in the last call, before we submit the draft for public
review, there is an issue has to be addressed.

 

We all agree that IDN is a complicated issue. In all previous discussion,
there is consensus that when ccTLD represented in one’s native language,
there would be many potential complications with the meaning of the string
that represent (that was one of the major reasons for setting up fast-track
process). We can foresee that one string selected by one territory may cause
uncomfortableness of another territory which is using the same language.
Further, there is no definition of the term “territory” in the current
draft, and the different understanding of the term from related parties may
cause future disputes over an application. And that, may just jeopardize the
effectiveness of the fast-track. To ensure the fast-track to be truly
“fast”, I’d propose we substitute the term “territory” with
“country/region” based on the following reason:

The proposed string is meaningful, which means along side with the string to
be a meaningful representation of the “territory” in one’s native
language, the string may contain cultural and political connotations. This
is one important characteristic of IDN, compare to the ASCII short code
representation of an “area”. I think the term “country/region” will work
better to avoid such complications than “territory”.

Hence, in order to avoid any potential dispute and to confine Fast Track to
a limited and non-contentious scope, this is advisable that we use the term
“country/region” as a desirable wording instead of “territory”. Or at
least, we should note in the draft that consensus should be reached not only
“within territory”, but also “among territories if necessary”.

 

Best regards

Jian Zhang

主题: [ccnso-idncctld] Draft Final Report

 

Dear All,
Included is the first version of the draft Final Report. To be discussed at
the next call. The next IDNC WG call is scheduled for Wednesday 11 June
2008, at noon (12 am) UTC. 

Those members of the IDNC WG who think that Principle E should be re-worded
and/or there should be an objection procedure, please provide wording to be
inserted. In the draft is a section for minority views. It would be most
helpful if the wording could be provided two day in advance of the next IDNC
WG call.


The intention is to post the draft Final Report on the ICANN Website by 13
June 2008.

Kind regards,
Bart
