<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">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,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Therefore either we have the AGB (amended) language for the three main options or we have it for none. We cannot just have the amended language as “suggested recommendation” reflecting only option (2) above.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">On our call yesterday there was some robust discussion about draft recommendations 3, 4, and 6, which suggest changing “in any language” to

<i><span 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”: </span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
