RE: [gnso-rn-wg] Tagged Names Report

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <mxr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I imagine (without any real knowledge…) that Tokyo and Beijing could be 
represented differently in those scripts.  What happens when there is more than 
one appropriate U-label?  Is this where we employ the “one string per 
application” rule, and any other strings would be confusingly similar and 
therefore not allowable?   Or, could the applicant have several variants all 
resolving to the same xn-TLD?  

 

The latter seems to make sense to me to maximize the utility of the TLD, but 
that would mean that Verisign probably ought to get .comm or .com with an 
umlaut?

Subject: [gnso-rn-wg] Tagged Names Report

 

Here is the final version of the second recommendation for the Tagged Names 
Report.  It is now ready for full WG approval:

 

For each IDN gTLD proposed, applicant must provide both the "ASCII compatible 
encoding"  (“A-label”) and the “Unicode display form” (“U-label”)[1][1].  For 
example:

*       If the Chinese word for ‘Beijing’ is proposed as a new gTLD, the 
applicant would be required to provide the A-label (xn--1lq90i) and the U-label 
(北京).

*       If the Japanese word for ‘Tokyo’ is proposed as a new gTLD, the 
applicant would be required to provide the A-label (xn--1lqs71d) and the 
U-label (東京). 

 The will send the full report later.
