RE: [gnso-contactinfo-pdp-wg] T&T activities over the next couple of weeks

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

Thank you, Jim and Petter for your recent emails. (Petter – also for your 
support for the webinar agenda.)

I think it is important that we answer the second question thoroughly unless we 
get to a situation where we are completely sure that our recommendation is for 
transformation not to be mandatory (in which case, as Jim writes, something 
based on "whoever benefits from the transformation" may be sufficient).

As Petter writes, responses are likely to show us more about the situation. I 
feel the fact that it is such a difficult question to answer is itself 
significant. If transformation were to be mandatory we would really need an 
answer with solid reasoning.

Regards,

Chris.

Dear All,

Wait and see the responses from some of the groups of interest that is 
curerently working on Comments.

There will be more specific suggestions both on how to deal with the mandatory 
transformation, as well as to the cost aspect.

Best,
Petter

Chris,

Since our main recommendation is not to propose mandatory transformation, would 
you please clarify if you are proposing a work item for us?

Speaking for myself, given that I'm not in favor of mandatory transformation 
I'd find it difficult to discuss who should bear the cost of transformation. 
Since it's not part of the "system" then the only possible answer is something 
or someone outside the system, which could reasonably be characterized by the 
phrase "whoever benefits from the transformation".

My question is, if we are to talk about who bears the cost, what is the basis 
on which we could evaluate possible responses?

Dear colleagues,

Happy New Year!

As there have been no public comments so far, I would like to cancel our
meetings tomorrow (Jan. 8) and on Jan. 15, and have a webinar on Monday
19th at 15:00 UTC (tentative date/time).

The current agenda for the webinar is at the bottom of this email. You
are most welcome to make suggestions for improving it by 23:59 UTC
tomorrow Jan. 8.

Two other things:

*1. Face-to-face meeting in Singapore*

The current intention is to have a closed meeting, use Doodle to
maximize attendance and invite people from outside the WG.

*2. Charter question 2*

Especially if our main recommendation were to change to pro-mandatory
transformation, we would need a detailed answer to the second question
in our charter:

"Who should decide who should bear the burden [of] translating contact
information to a single common language or transliterating contact
information to a single common script."

Answers that have come up during our discussions have included:

- Registrants, registrars and/or registries

- Whoever benefits from the provision of a transformation service

More detailed suggestions are welcome and would be likely to strengthen
the case for mandatory transformation.

With all good wishes for 2015,

Regards,

Chris.
