Re: [gnso-idn-wg] Addition to Section 4.2.1

[subbiah <subbiah@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Hong Xue's paraphrasing a bit to define Chinese community 
in a broader context than simply China. It happes also to be correct.

Additionally I was wondering there maybe Support or even Agreement  to a 
point that Avri Doria raised in her  consolidated commenst sent last 
week to the mailing list. She specifically looked at this 4.2.1 issue 
and stated something that went much further than merely "considering" 
previous launches. At thr risk of quoting her wrong I beleive she said 
in essence,

"Previous deployments and experimentations in local regions, carried out 
prior to any consensual globally coordinated IDN deployments like that 
being now considered by ICANN,  should not be penalised during an 
ICANN-led gTLD application process".

I actually think that would be a helpful addition to the current Support 
statement, If  so, a suitable re-re-wording maybe  as follows, with my 
further insertions in ALL CAPS.

Section 4.2.1

Support for BOTH considering AND  IN  THE IDN gTLD APPLICATION PROCESS 
NOT PENALISING any local/regional pre-existing developments regarding 
IDN gTLDs, for example, the experimental IDN system developed by the 
Arab League, ***Chinese language community and other communities in a 
smaller scale*** when considering introduction of new IDN gTLDs, ***to 
avoid potential confusion/backlash.***
