<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">As a threshold consideration: as there is no clear “room consensus” on this question I feel that there should be no preference given to any of the, as I see, three main
options at hand: (1) maintain “all languages”; (2) official languages and official UN languages; (3) some intermediate solution covering all languages commonly used in a given country to identify its name… (there could be several options: “common languages”;
“commonly used languages”; “relevant national, regional and community languages”, etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;background:white">Some Work Track members stated that the text “in any language” results in a very large number of reserved strings and does not provide a clear and objective list that can be used as reference. From
this perspective, the provision is not predictable or transparent. One Work Track member also noted that some languages are spoken by very few people, therefore reserving representations in all languages may not be appropriate. From another perspective, “in
any language” should remain in place unless there is a factual basis for limiting the languages covered in this provision. Many languages may be spoken by and relevant to communities within a given country, and the list should therefore not be limited. Work
Track members suggested the following possible options as alternatives to “in any language”:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Good idea to start a thread on this, Javier. It sounds like two possible options are removing the paragraph or editing. Third option: It also sounds like some people (specifically Carlos and Christopher) want WT5 to address
the issue of if, when, and how specific interested parties, such as relevant government authorities, may apply for country and territory names. Do we want to open this further for discussion? Or consider this out of scope at this time?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If we don’t want to reopen the question too much, we could simply ask if there are any strong objections to removing the text.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
