Subject: [gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] Translation and transliteration study 
published

Dear TNT PDP Working Group,

  I would like to bring to your attention to a recent published report 
evaluating solutions for the submission and display of internationalized 
Contact Data. Specifically the study addresses the following areas:

*         The accuracy implications for transforming internationalized contact 
data. The study explored tools for (i) transliterating internationalized 
contact information to ASCII, (ii) translating internationalized contact 
information to English, (iii) transcribing internationalized contact 
information to ASCII, or (iv) a combination of these techniques.
*         Current Practices for handling internationalized contact data. The 
study report describes the practices of:
a.       Electronic merchants and online service providers in other industries, 
who often accommodate submission or display of their content in multiple 
languages. The  study examines how their websites handle internationalized 
contact information.
b.      Domain name registries and registrars, who currently operate in 
geographies where local languages require use of character sets beyond ASCII in 
Latin or non-Latin writing systems. The study surveyed the submission and 
display practices of internationalized registration contact information for 
such registries and registrars.
*         Limitations of technical protocols to handle internationalized 
contact data. The study looked at what constraints current relevant protocols 
may also place on submission, storage, transmission and display of such data by 
registries and registrars.

 The study and its public comment is available here:

  We hope this would be useful for the TNT working group as you deliberate in 
this area. We are also happy to provide a briefing to you in London.

Kind regards,
Steve

Dear all,

I apologize for yet another doodle-related email. However, we have had only 
three responses and so, we decided to extend the poll until Tuesday 30 July 
14.00 UTC. If you have not filled in the poll, please take a moment to do so 
until then. Here is the link: http://doodle.com/tntpuxqutmmrannq

Please note that even if you can't make it in the first week - use the poll to 
indicate at which time you would be available in the forthcoming weeks!


Many thanks and have a great weekend.
Best wishes,
Lars
