Dear PDP WG members,

As a reminder please see the information below provided by Steve Sheng
several weeks ago.  I think they may have completed the survey since they
requested feedback by 12 February.  I will check with Steve.

Best regards,
Julie

> 5.  Update from Steve Sheng on Study Group to Evaluate Available Solutions for
> the Submission and Display of Internationalized Contact Data.

Thanks Julie and Chris, the study team (copied here) is happy to be on the
call to provide an update and answer questions. Please find below is a
written summary and a request for feedback on a registrar and registry
survey.  

The purpose of the study is to:
1. Document the submission and display practices of internationalized
registration data at a representative set of gTLD and ccTLD registries and
registrars.  
2. Investigate and document how other e-merchants or web sites manage
internationalized contact data.
3. Consider and assess the cost and functionality of commercial, open
source, or other known but as yet not widely implemented solutions for 1)
transliterating internationalized contact information to US-ASCII, 2)
translating internationalized contact information to English,  3)
transcribing internationalized contact information to US-ASCII, or 4) a
mixture of translation, transliteration and transcription.
4. Consider and assess the accuracy implications for transliteration and
translation of the internationalized contact data
5. Based on practices documented in 1  and understanding the issues raised
in 3 and 4  and best practices by other e-merchants in 2, summarize some
common best practices registry/registrar could do to minimize these
variations, if translation and/or transliteration is deemed necessary.
    The study team is currently on the first task, and has prepared a
registry and registrar survey to complete. Since this group is closely
working in this area, we appreciate very much if you have any feedback on
these survey questions. Such feedback will help us to make sure we ask the
right questions.  


     Your feedback by 12 February is much appreciated.   More information
