[Idngwg] Suggestions for items for discussion

[Sarmad Hussain]

Dear All,

Here are more items which may be considered for further discussion.  As
discussed, I am suggesting a liberal list.  

1.	Transition and Terminology
a.	Any (residual) issues/items from IDNA2003 to IDNA2008 transition?
b.	Glossary of terms around LGRs and variants from the IDN TLD project
and other work
2.	Language table format and managing consistency of end-user
experience
a.	IDN Table format in XML, based on new LGR specifications being
developed 
b.	Role of reference second level tables in managing consistency and
differences across TLDs for a predictable end-user experience
c.	Relationship between language tables and script tables? Other
categories (some languages but not entire script)?
d.	Managing consistence across levels;  relationship of Root Zone LGR
and the second level IDN tables?
3.	Variants
a.	Variant states (number and nomenclature) and state-change mechanisms
(e.g. blocked, allocatable, allocated, reserved, etc.)
b.	Primary vs. secondary variants in Chinese language (other scripts or
languages?)
c.	Policy for activating variants
i.	Automatic or registrant requested allocation 
1.	Automatic activation of variant labels at second level for Chinese
language domain names
ii.	Minimum and Maximum number of allocated variants/Ceiling value? 
iii.	Choosing which variants may be activated
d.	Variants at second level must(?) be allocated to the same
registrant?  
e.	Implication of second level variants on TMCH
4.	Similarity/Confusability of labels
a.	Homographic issues within script
i.	General homographic issues within a script
ii.	Scope of confusability: upper to lower case mapping 
b.	Cross-script homoglyphs management to prevent phishing
possibilities- cox.com, where "cox" can be in Latin or Greek or Cyrillic
i.	Script mixing within a second level label
ii.	Script mixing across levels 
iii.	Scope of confusability: upper to lower case mapping
iv.	Is ASCII a special case for mixing?
5.	Registration data 
a.	Registration data for IDNs
b.	Registration data of variants - information regarding variant sets
and variant label disposition(s)
