Jorge,

1. The language discussion is open. 
2. During the call we opened up the conversation and referred to the email exchanges, which were kicked off with Katrin’s input. 
3. We encouraged the discussions to continue on the list and will pick up again next call.

Regards,

Martin

> b. Languages:  At our last meeting we reviewed the comments relating to the language requirement for geographic terms: "An application for any string that is a representation, in any language, of the capital city name of any country or territory listed in the ISO 3166-1 standard".  There was general acceptance and no objections towards refining the language requirements to reflect more relevance and practical applicability. At this stage, the group considered the following option to be a suitable base for further discussion:
> i.The official language of the country/territory/capital city.
> ii.Translations of the country/territory/capital city in UN languages.
> 
> Discussion/Proposals:
> -- Add transliterations into ASCII and conversions into DNS labels.  Possible problem: If you transliterate from a different character set it generally cannot work as there is not standard for transliteration.
> -- Suggest limiting the number of languages and noting that in some countries there will be more than one official language.
> -- Also, should include local DNS version.
> -- Have a principle on what we think would be a useful scope.  Look also to experts and how INGOs have been handled (Red Cross and IOC names).
> 
> c. Geographic Terms That Require Letters of Support/Non-Objection Dependent Upon Intended Usage (Recommendation 11)
> 
> -- Currently in AGB there is a provision for intended use.
> -- Proposal for balancing competing interests.
> -- A string is just a term that can have many meanings.  Just because it may have a geographical meaning does not make it always the geographical term.
> -- Comments about a lack of rationale for protections.
> -- Names could have multiple legitimate uses and meanings.
> ACTION: Share on the list any comments as to whether WT5 members thing there is a need to adjust the preliminary recommendation.
