<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">Issue #7: Who should decide who should bear the burden translating contact information to a single common language or transliterating contact information to a single common script?
This question relates to the concern expressed by the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG) in its report that there are costs associated with providing translation and transliteration of contact information. For example, if a policy development
process (PDP) determined that the registrar must translate or transliterate contact information, this policy would place a cost burden on the registrar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
