Subject: Action requested: Final Draft of IDN Guidelines 4.0 - last chance to comment before release for Public Comments


Dear All,


Based on our discussion during the call this week, please find attached the final draft of the IDN Guidelines 4.0.


The comments received by WG members will be considered during the WG call in the coming week, after which the document will be finalized - to be released for public comments soon after (and before ICANN 58).


All changes agreed during the calls have been accepted in this draft.  The redlined text indicates some suggested edits.


All the "will" occurrences which have been changed to "must" have been highlighted. Please let us know if any of these should be changed to "should" or other phrases.


We also agreed to use either a "label" (to represent a part of a domain name) or a "domain name" to represent a domain with multiple labels - and not use just "domain" or just "name".  Thus, all occurrences of the latter two terms have been replaced with "domain name".  Changes are in redline and should also be verified.


The glossary section still needs input.  I have tried to include definitions from various document which require your review.  There are some terms which still need to be defined.


Thank you all for the significant effort put in to finalize the work.  We will be presenting these guidelines at two sessions during ICANN 58:


1. Full 75 minute session: https://schedule.icann.org/event/9nmh/icann-gdd-idn-implementation-guidelines-wg-update

2. Short 7 minute update: https://schedule.icann.org/event/9nqW/idn-program-update


Please add these sessions to your calendars and hope to see many of you there.


regards,

Sarmad
