RE: [gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] WHOIS accuracy

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

Dear Rudi,

It's good to see this issue highlighted. I have added it to 
https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=44960108 in the wiki.

With organizational names, there may even be a case for three fields: form in 
original script, translation and transliteration (the last being for 
organizations with no English translated form). Instinctively, I don't like the 
idea of having some records with translations and others with transliterations 
in the same field of a database.

Regards,

Chris.

Dear Chris,
Dear all,

When looking into the document Status update EWG, only page 53 and 80 mention 
the word "translation". In annex A (page 61) I don't see any indication of 
fields allowing the storage of translated or transliterated contact 
information. Perhaps this is something we should emphasize a bit more in our 
discussions. If none is preparing a protocol / storage for 
translated/transliterated information our whole process does not have any 
effect. I know this looks quite pessimistic but it is a fact in none of the 
actual documents I've seen any hint on this.

I'm preparing the promised excel sheet.

Till soon,

Rudi Vansnick

Dear WG members -
I thought this latest blog entry by Margie Milam on WHOIS accuracy might be 
useful to our discussion.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Lars
