Steve,

Taking advantage of a waiting period for feedback on my papers I gave a quick 
review to the slides and have comments on the substance of the work as shown in 
slide 6, see below.


 1.  Name server names may not need to be internationalized, since they are a 
parameter information (as IP addresses). In fact, strictly speaking they are a 
DNS parameter and as such, not subject to internationalization. Remember IDNA 
is i18n of domain names for use in Applications, not in DNS.
 2.  Sponsoring Registrar may need to be internationalized since this is an 
important parameter in the interaction with registrants; they often need to 
refer to the registrar and need a familiar way to do so. In order to allow for 
easy interoperation, it may be wise to consider displaying the registrar ID (as 
kept by IANA) along with an internationalized name for the registrar.
 3.  For the email, is incorrect to refer to an experimental RFC (5335) for 
standardization. Maybe, instead the WG may want to say that once there is an 
standard for EAI, it should be used.
 4.  Registration status may be worth considering them for i18n in some 
standard way (maybe an IANA registry comprised of a table of the status, 
language tag, and the standard translation for the status. I think this is 
important, in order to avoid user confusion.

Regards,

Dear IRD-WG,

  Attached please find the draft outreach slides. In this presentation, we 
focus on the different models and ways to internationalize domain registration 
data. We also provided rational for discussing the different models.

  As agreed, please provide feedback to the slide deck on the mailing list. We 
also appreciate if you could suggest times and target audience for the outreach.

Warm regards,
