Dear All,
As a native Arabic speaker I strongly vote for
YES (ie make it DISALLOWED)
for the following reasons:
1- It is so similar to the hyphen (see file: TATWEEL-1.jpg):
أـء vs أ-ء
2- It will add more help domain fishing and user confusion (see file: TATWEEL-2.jpg):
مثال vs مثـال vs مـثـال
3- It is not a letter or a digit (conflict with LDH concept)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatweel
4- do we really want to see these type of labels as domains (see file: TATWEEL-4.jpg):
ـــــ vs ـ vs ـــــــــــــــ vs ـ-ـ-ـ-ـ-ـ (the last one is composed of TATWEEL + Hyphen)
5- If someone feels that all registries are capable of fixing problems in all the languages than why not enabling all code points and simplify the IDNA protocol!!!!!!
I believe that we need to simplify the registry operations by keeping them focused on the core functions and not adding extra work/load on the script problems/issues
Thanks ..
With best regards,
Raed I. Al-Fayez

Subject: consensus Call: TATWEEL
Based on the on-line exchanges, it appears to me that the general
consensus is to ban TATWEEL by exception (ie. make it DISALLOWED).
Please respond with:
YES (ie make it DISALLOWED)
NO (ie leave it PVALID)
OTHER: <explain what you propose>
I will tally the responses arriving by April 4, midnight, EDT.
