[NCUC-DISCUSS] Translation & Transliteration of Contact Information PDP draft initial report open for public comment

[Dillon, Chris]

Dear colleagues,

As promised in the recent NCSG call, here is a link to the Translation & Transliteration of Contact Information PDP draft initial report and public comment:

www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-12-16-en 

The report contains the WG's discussion and puts the arguments it has gathered to the community. It provides both detailed arguments in favor and opposing mandatory transformation and indicates that a majority of the Working Group currently recommends against mandatory transformation and/or transliteration of Contact Information. The Working Group hopes that community feedback will maximize its consensus level for the Final Report and, therefore, its members strongly encourage the Community to provide additional arguments in favor/opposing mandatory transformation of contact information data further to facilitate the WG's consensus building process.

Public comment is open till February 1, 2015.

Regards,

Chris Dillon.
