<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century

asked whether transformation would be required at the
validation stage. I would say no to that question. The
original language/script data are primary and suitable for
validation. It’s not that transformed data cannot be
validated, but they need to be high quality (outside Greek,
Cyrillic and alphabetic scripts often created by human being
rather than a computer). Actually I think Rudi made a
similar point later in the call, but just to clarify that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Perhaps I should listen to the recording to get more context.
However, one point that occurs to me is that I don't think you can
give an unequivocal no just yet.<br>
<br>
Consider the question of whether or not a single script and language
is required. If we decide that all registration information is to
be in a single script and language, then we can consider the
question of which presentation of the data to validate: the original
input data or the transformed data.<br>
<br>
I would argue that if the chosen single script and language is to be
"official", then that presentation of the data should be subject to
all the validation requirements. The input data will need to be
normalized so that it can be transformed. We will need to keep the
input form of the data for audit purposes. However, validating the
input form seems to me to be tantamount to simply supporting all
languages and scripts, which makes me wonder why we would choose a
single language and script for all data.<br>
<br>
This is my current thinking.<br>
