<p class="MsoNormal">Bill, Mats<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your feedback. I have carefully reviewed your input, so let me address each one of your points:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">“I really do not understand what bullet 1 in slide 4 means. Please elaborate.” And “</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I am
not clear what you are trying to say in point 1.”, this referring to Slide 4 as well.</span><o:p></o:p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">It refers to the principle by which this panel will determine variants sets for the Latin script, that is within-script variants. Specifically, “sufficiently universal” means that
whether certain characters are used as equivalents across an important majority of the languages using the Latin script.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">We received positive feedback from IP. Verbatim “The actual guiding principle (contained in the second paragraph of the document) appears to cover the important considerations and
will likely serve the GP well in arriving at at [sic] list of proposed candidate variants”<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">Both of you should be aware of this since you (Bill) presented and explained it during ICANN Abu Dhabi. Please review the panel presentation on slide 36.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">“<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I do not believe that we actually agreed that only exact homoglyphs would be considered variants. I know that this is *your* view. I just
don't think is was anything resembling a consensus of the team. And conversations with the Integration Panel have made clear that it is not a mandate from them.”</span><o:p></o:p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1"><span style="color:black">These statements are inaccurate.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">We agreed on the principles and applied it to the cross-script analysis of Latin-Cyrillic, which is now complete.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">Not my view, but the requirement by which the IP expects this GP to do its work. On this, IP has consistently reminded this GP “the kinds of variants to be defined in the Root Zone
LGR are limited to homoglyphs, which are characters with essentially identical appearance by design, instead of merely similar appearance.” (IP Feedback to Latin GP, 22 March 2017). And “In the context of the Root Zone, the Procedure is quite clear in that
it considers simple similarity of appearance to be outside the scope of the Root Zone LGR.” (IP Feedback to Latin GP, 18 October 2017).<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
