Feedback of PAN L10n project on IDNAbis for Languages of Developing Asia

[Vint Cerf]

Sarmad,

I saw only Urdu and Nepali in the wiki so assume others are still to  
follow?

1. are the urdu suggestions for inclusion in DNS consistent with  
Patrik's properties-based inclusion algorithm plus contextual  
exceptions? If not, we will need to figure out how to achieve  
consistency.

2. I assume that "translations" are intended to be local and that  
their use would result in normalized ASCII outputs for each of the  
referenced domain names currently in the list for ccTLDs and gTLDs  
when the localizations are externalized - like the use of Fully  
Qualified Domain Names in email systems that allow abbreviated domain  
names internally.

This form of localization gives rise to some serious confusion if any  
of the listed translations become valid internationalized ccTLDs or  
gTLDs.

what is the general thinking about dealing with that potential conflict?

Vint
