Mike,
 
The U-Label will not be authoritative; the A-Label will be.

        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?

        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.
