[ChineseGP] FW: fortnightly meeting on 23rd Oct, Thursday

[Zhiwei Yan]

Dear Chris, Yes, we should differentiate the single character variants and label variants. So is it possible that we only define a loose rule for the single character and the "type" for the label variants should be defined in the later procedure. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Best Regards, From Z.W. Yan 在2014年10月24日 17:44，Dillon, Chris写道： Dear Qi Chao, Thank you for your email. 1.    I’m hoping it will be refining, rather than redefining, the definition of “variant”. 2.    Accepting the concept of universal variant (e.g. TC and SC) and lexical variant (e.g. 紀伊國屋/紀伊国屋) may be easier than having to add the new type/status of Independent. 3.    Whatever we do, it must not be possible for different applicants to apply for紀伊國屋 and 紀伊国屋. I think it’s possible for a panel not to define variants in its table, to accept that variant mappings for each character are the same as other languages/panels and for variants to be decided at the LGR level. Cases like the 紀伊國屋/紀伊国屋case would thus be solved (recognized as variants of the same lable) at the LGR level , even though 國 and 国 are not defined as variants in the Japanese table.

I give some technical comments below: 1. As you and Prof.Zhang have suggested, it might be time to redefine 'variant' for CGP/JGP in order to make a comprehensive rule for 'variant mapping' . 2. P2.2 is designed for code points, not for labels with mixed code points , and only two types - 'allocatable'/'blocked' - are defined for variant code points now. So 'Independent' , as a new type, need to be accepted by LGR ?(to be confirmed) 3. From the example of 紀伊國屋/紀伊国屋, there supposed to be also some relationship like 'variant' in new form and old form( 国 / 國) , which may not be recognized by JGP. I wonder how to handle the conflict if 紀伊國屋/紀伊国屋 are applied as tld by different applicants, and the problem is better handled by LGR, not by manual recognition.

I’m sorry if some of them were addressed during the meeting. 1. I’m guessing we may need a new definition of variant, as發 fā “send” and髮 fà (Taiwanese Mandarin pronunciation fǎ “hair”) both TC variants of SC 发, for example, do not have “the same pronunciations and the same meanings” in all of the languages. 2. I reckon that code points only have “independent” status/type in the Japanese table, but that labels should be generated using the merged LGR rules, not local table rules. 3. In Japanese, 国 and 國 cannot be exchanged in most cases. However, there may be certain names e.g. 紀伊國屋/紀伊国屋 where either form is common. The company seems to prefer the former; people write the latter. I would be interested to know what people do when word-processing. My software suggests the new form first, but then the old form. I wonder what percentage of people type which form. Personally, I would always type the form the company or person concerned preferred, if possible. There is a lot in a name.

Tomorrow, I’d like to share my slides for CDN variant workshop in ICANN 51 And also, I drafted a document to illustrate C, J and K’s understanding about the coordination principles. It seems there are still different views between us and some IP members. I will send the document to IP for their formal feedback after we discuss and reach a consensus. Meeting time: 3PM (Beijing time, UTC+8) Regards Wang Wei
