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

["Ram Mohan" <rmohan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Yoav,

Do I understand this correctly:

 

If a prior experiment/development exists, including in the use of an
alternate root, the use of a proxy system, or DNS changes that are required
of local ISPs in a specific geographic region, then:

-          ICANN should provide backward compatibility for these alternate
root systems/"experimental" systems

-          New IDN gTLD applicants should be barred from applying for these,
to avoid potential confusion/backlash

 

I appreciate your clarification.

 

Regards,

Ram

Ram, Olof, all,

 

The issue in section 4.2.1 is an issue that was probably brought up during a
call that I have missed. First I would like to state my own support for this
view. Second, I think we should elaborate a little more and add more
examples and clarification to this point. I would like to offer the
following wording, which is the original one with two short additions marked
between 3 stars:

 

 

Support for considering local/regional pre-existing developments regarding
IDN gTLDs, for example, the experimental IDN system run by the Arab League,
***China and other countries in a smaller scale*** when considering
introduction of new IDN gTLDs, ***to avoid potential confusion/backlash.***

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Yoav
