you for getting back. We would request for IP member who

Dear Sarmad,<br>
<br>
thanks for getting back and the helpful clarification. The
Integration Panel is interested in having such discussions. At this
point, it early for the Integration Panel so it would be premature
to expect a solidified "IP perspective" on variant issues, because
the Integration Panel has mainly focused on repertoire (MSR-1) up to
this point. From that aspect, the timing isn't overly fortuitous,
but at the same time, the discussion has to start somewhere.<br>
<br>
On another note, we are interested in structuring the interaction
with the various Generations panels in a way that allows our
advisors to participate, mainly with the intent of enabling them to
hear the Generation Panel positions without filtering, and allowing
them to use questions etc. to gain a more solid understanding of the
nuances of the issues under discussion. This, we feel, would improve
their effectiveness as advisors to the Integration Panel.<br>
<br>
As for the logistics of the upcoming meeting, I would like to take
that part of the discussion offline. Staff or I will contact you
after we discuss this some more tomorrow.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">Dear
Sarmad,<br>
<br>
ICANN staff has forwarded a request sent by you on behalf of
TF-AIDN for
interaction with the Integration Panel at the upcoming
TF-AIDN meeting at
Istanbul.<br>
<br>
We have discussed this among the Integration Panel members
and with staff and
we do not quite know how best to respond to this request.<br>
<br>
For one, some of our members are absent this week and not
reachable for
discussion. Others are not available during the dates of
your meeting. The
Integration Panel also has its own F2F meeting scheduled the
weekend before in
Los Angeles, making for rather difficult travel schedule
even for those members
who would otherwise be available.<br>
<br>
Your request mentioned that TF-AIDN felt that expertise in
"Arabic and
DNS" would be useful, but the material forwarded to us by
staff did not
contain any further specifics on the issues to be covered or
the objectives
that you would like to achieve by such a meeting.<br>
<br>
By its nature, the expert members of the Integration Panel
were selected to
have expertise that is broadly applicable across all
scripts; as is
commensurate with the role of panel in integrating the many
LGRs produced by
local Generation Panels, whose members encompass individuals
with strong
linguistic background and expertise in the subject script.<br>
<br>
For specific Arabic expertise, we can recommend Tom Milo as
advisor. The
integration panel has used him as advisor on Arabic matters;
his expertise as
designer of Arabic typesetting and font technology, we
found, gives him a
uniquely valuable perspective. (If he were to attend it
would be as advisor to
the GP and not as representative of the IP.)<br>
<br>
As for DNS expertise, it would help us if we could better
understand the likely
concerns and issues you expect to resolve in the session.<br>
<br>
