[IDN-WG] Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- IDN Variant TLD Program - Procedure to Develop and Maintain the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in Respect of IDNA Labels

Tue Nov 13 11:16:49 UTC 2012

Hi, Edmon.

Excellent content!  Attached are my edits - worked on after JJS' comments.
Please note that I amended recommendation 2  (just an iota).  I think you
might end up agreeing with me though.  If not, do flag.

p.s. I suggest you turn off markup when you read it. :)

Best regards,

Rinalia
