<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">1. </span><span style="color:black">Languages/Translations</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">Proposal: translations in UN and official languages</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- For those countries that have no official language, include “de-facto” official languages (a list would need to be identified for this)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Supplement with a curative mechanism that allows for objections in the case of commonly used languages</span><span style="color:white"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">The transposition of accented and diacritic characters in Latin-based scripts to their equivalent ASCII. This would protect for example sao-tome as a DNS-Label of São Tomé along-side the IDN version of the name
(xn--so-tom-3ta7c). </span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Katrin’s proposal: transpose, not transliterate, the non-ASCII characters, such as accents in city names. Two fold: 1) Den Haag -- the space between the two parts of the city name should be eliminated; 2) Sao
Tome’ -- one word without spaces in between and eliminate the accents. This proposal only addresses translations for capital city names.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Makes not sense to refer to “ASCII root” and instead say “ASCII text” as “root” has a different meaning.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- All IDN names are “xn—gibberish” on the wire, throwing this in the discussion is just making things just confusing</span><span style="font-family:"MS Gothic";color:black">
</span><span style="color:black">.
A space is allowed according to the protocol, however it is likely to confuse all applications out there.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Elimination of spaces or replacement with a dash is the current standard for implementing copyrights and it is reasonable to extend it here if that was not already part of the last applicant guidebook.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- By adding this additional provision, this would presumably extend protections to these additional terms. Is that the intention? Or to allow a local group to choose the most appropriate term for them? As mentioned
in my email just prior to this meeting, it may be helpful to understand the underlying issue and thus, what you’re trying to solve.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- It is less about adding protections but rather giving citizens a sensible option to identify with a "speaking" city name instead of xn--........</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- There are rules in the AGB for how you handle trademarks with spaces or dashes (the ASCII characters that aren’t recognized). Could make them applicable to geographic names.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- See AGB 2.2.1.4.2: 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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Section 6.1.5 of the TMCH Document described how certain characters are treated for purposes of "exact match"</span><span style="font-family:"MS Gothic";color:black">
</span><span style="color:black">
</span><a href="https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/trademark-clearinghouse-04jun12-en.pdfb"><span style="color:#1155CC">https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/trademark-clearinghouse-04jun12-en.pdfb</span></a><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">It says if it is not one of the special characters listed, then it is either omitted, dropped, or replaced with a hyphen or underscore -- a character with an accent is just the characters.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Possible addition 2: languages spoken by X% of people in the country/territory/capital city (to represent relevant national, regional and community languages)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Would need to determine how to decide the percentage.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Sensitivities around language issues are high.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- So many complications to try to establish this. How relevant is this to the big picture of geographic names? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Could this concept of a "percentage of" already be captured by "de facto" official languages concept? In other words, a large percentage could already be perceived as "de facto".... just a thought!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Additional Proposal: How about the top 90 most spoken languages in the world? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">2. Additional Categories of Terms (non-AGB Terms)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Proposal from Javier Rua:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">additional geographic names not included in the 2012 Applicant Guidebook category:</span>
<span style="color:black">"require a letter of support / non-objection from the relevant regional or autonomic authority for an autonomous area/region of a country."</span>
<span style="color:black">There is not, I concede, an ISO-type list to pin down these areas, however there are useful and easily attainable credible reference resources such as: "The World's Modern Autonomy Systems" at
</span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__webfolder.eurac.edu_EURAC_Publications_Institutes_autonomies_MinRig_Autonomies-2520Benedikter-252009-2520klein.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=adDIs0WEx_lLwFfrsdovxTYY8GkRHo5ibc8SR3Npdh8&m=Ms_-bzdwzPorLh678jQCBVsfwMVjGpWuFBCQIFtwkXA&s=m42lX2rlyvqt-qIVlZYnyCfF_SMnspKu5tx7etBEn2M&e="><span style="color:#1155CC">http://webfolder.eurac.edu/EURAC/Publications/Institutes/autonomies/MinRig/Autonomies%20Benedikter%2009%20klein.pdf

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- This could easily become political.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Complicated to try to understand coming in not to far before the call.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Some areas are highly disputed. Wouldn’t want ICANN seen to be supporting some problematic claims.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">-- Shows how difficult it is to deal with the names outside of the defined list.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
