Dear Chris, Lars, Petter, Emily and Amr: First of all, I would like to
thank everyone for all their work on the Working Group thus far and the
recent input on the draft initial report.

I am particularly happy to see Emily's input, as we have not received much
input from the Registrars to date. I understand that membership in the
Working Groups is always open, and welcome Emily's joining the Working
Group and the discussion now as we want to ensure that the Working Group
takes into consideration the opinions of the Registrars.

My impression from the input we received from the community prior to our
meeting in London was that there was not a consensus from the community on
the first question of whether mandatory translation or transliteration of
contact information into a single language or script was desirable. Some in
the community thought it was desirable, and some thought it was not. In our
discussions in person, it did not seem that those in the room had a
consensus either. I was personally surprised at the first draft of the
strawman that suggested to me a high degree of consensus among the members
of the Working Group that translation/transliteration was not desirable. I
did not think this reflected the content of our discussions, and mentioned
this in some of the previous calls. Perhaps in our calls leading up to Los
Angeles we can explore this, and the level to which there is, or is not,
consensus.

Best regards,
Peter
