["Dillon, Chris" <c.dillon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,

This is just to pick up the point I was trying to make on today's webinar.
On p.41 we have 6.1.1.1 "The approval of a variant TLD must not be automatic, 
but initiated upon the request of an applicant ..."

A well-made table could have columns for e.g. Traditional and Simplified 
Chinese code points variants (or e.g. Arabic and Urdu variants) which could be 
used to do a lot of the generation of variant labels automatically. This could 
be useful if, for example, an applicant forgot to apply for a Traditional 
Chinese variant code point.

That would be before the activation stage where human beings intervened and 
decided the status of the variant labels, or made sure the results were what 
was intended, or had a variant label added, or limited several variant labels 
to a subset of them.

Regards,

Chris.
