Item 4.2.2


Given that alternative views have been expressed for the possible 
right’s of a country regarding IDN gTLDs in that country’s scripts, I 
would like to propose that some of these rights should also be given to 
the language community. The two areas where language community input 
would be particularly useful maybe the “approval” of a gTLD IDN string 
in its script and also its rights to influence the definitions/tables of 
its scripts/languages. Obviously such language communities must speak 
with a united or near-unanimous voice before ICANN accepts input.

There are two ways to accomplish this operationally:

(1) Amend the first two alternative views to replace the word “country” 
with “language community” and specifically define “language community” 
in this context to include the relevant country/countries.

Or simply add a new alternative view (which can be at Support level if 
there is some support) as follows:

*(2) Alternative View/ Support/ Agreement: To also accept a language 
community’s responsibility to approve any gTLD strings featuring its 
particular script or influence the definitions/tables of its scripts if 
that language community is speaking with a united or near-unanimous voice.
