[Rudi Vansnick <rudi.vansnick@xxxxxxx>]

Dear NPOC members,

I would like to bring to your attention the message below, about the first 
meeting of the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information PDP 
Working Group.
NPOC was active in the drafting team and will again be an active player in the 
PDP WG. We would appreciate, if such is possible, you would take a quick look 
at the meeting description below and of course you’re all very welcome tomorrow 
at this meeting. We know the impact of this PDP is of high importance to the 
DNS as it touches upon the critical information being the WHOIS data. Many 
debates are ongoing and this new PDP is going to be part of it.

Your comments, remarks and input is more than welcome, even if you just want to 
drop us at NPOC Policy Committee the comments. We’ll certainly will keep track 
of them and will inject in the WG.

Kind regards,

Rudi Vansnick
NPOC chair Policy Committee
NPOC treasurer

This PDP has been tasked by the GNSO Council to Group to address issues related 
to the potential need to translate and/or transliterate contact information 
data. As part of its deliberations on this issue, Charter stipulates several 
questions for the PDP WG to consider, including (but not limited to):


 *   Whether it is desirable to translate contact information to a single 
common language or transliterate contact information to a single common script.
 *   Who should decide who should bear the burden translating contact 
information to a single common language or transliterating contact information 
to a single common script.

For more detailed, consult the WG's 
Charter<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/transliteration-contact-charter-06nov13-en.pdf>.

In preparation for the first meeting, please take a moment to review the

Staff will start this first session with an introductory presentation on the 
issue of Translation and Transliteration and also provide some other useful 
background on the GNSO Policy Development Process. In addition, a nomination of
