RE: RE: [gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] Examples of addresses

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

Dear Peter,

Thank you for the Mandarin example.

As I expected, a couple of questions: What is 里 lǐ doing in the address? Is 甲 
jiǎ like a street or block, perhaps?

There are Pinyin rules for combining syllables and adding capitals, perhaps 
something like:
Běijīng shì Cháoyáng qū Xībàhé Guāngxīmén Běi lǐ Jiǎ 31 hào

Notes

-       Note that tone marks are normally removed in transliterated addresses.

-       The order of the Chinese address and English address is very different 
e.g. Jiǎ.

-       No hyphens before elements such as shì (city) and qū.

-       区Qū is translated as “district”.

-       The Chinese literally says Guangximen North (rather than North 
Guangximen).

Although政务和公益机构域名注册管理中心 (CONAC) has a commonly used English translation and 
acronym, I was told in Buenos Aires that there are many Chinese organizations 
with no English translations for their names.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi all,

I would like to add the address of my organization CONAC (China Organizational 
Name Administration Center) in
 this list for reference and consideration.

I post it in the following three forms:

In Chinese Pinyin: běi jīng shì cháo yáng qū xī bà hé guāng xī mén běi lǐ jiǎ 
31 hào

In Chinese Characters: 北京市朝阳区西坝河光熙门北里甲31号

In English：Jia 31, North Guangximen, Xibahe, Chaoyang District,Beijing, 
100028,China
