<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">This is just to pick some points out of yesterday’s discussion, partly for the benefit of those who may be reading the wiki or this list, rather than listening to all
the calls.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I think we do need to encourage other groups to be aware of the implications our recommendations may have (for example additional fields in the data model for transliterated
and/or translated forms). Perhaps this isn’t central to our charter, but as Rudi said, the implementation could be substantially slowed down if we ignore this aspect.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">That said, Amr’s point about our needing to stress more the desirability of translation and/or transliteration is very important:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">For example, “Do we feel that all contact information in all gTLD registries for all registrants should be translated and/or transliterated for the purpose of WHOIS look-up?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As Rudi mentioned, the consensus is basically that it should, although Kathy Kleiman's post on the NCSG-Discuss mailing list (5 March, 2014)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">highlights that translation and/or transliteration could add to the financial burden of registrants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
