<p>Hello, all:</p>
<p>Thank you for the notes from the UASG meeting at ICANN61 sent
just now.</p>
<p>I have a question about the wording of the "UASG Position on
Downgrading". I don't intend to dispute the substance of the
position. I do have a hard time understanding the wording used.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>b. The sending system MAY substitute a pre-determined alias in
ASCII when it ‘owns’ the mailbox and sending part of the email
when it knows a transit will encounter a non-EAI ready email
component.<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I get lost after the first word "and". The rest of the sentence
seems like two partial sentences spliced together.</p>
<p>If I delete the first clause of the "and" condition, the 'owns'
clause, and abbreviate the part about the sending system, it
reads:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The …system… MAY substitute… when… and sending part of the
email when it knows a transit will encounter a non-EAI ready
email component.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I don't understand how to interpret "sending part of the email"
as a condition. I don't know how to pare the second use of "when".</p>
<p>Did we mean,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>b. The sending system MAY substitute a pre-determined alias in
ASCII when sending part of the email if a) it ‘owns’ the
mailbox, b) it knows a transit will encounter a non-EAI ready
email component.<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Also, I don't know if "the mailbox" refers to the destination
mailbox, or the sender mailbox. Also, I don't know what it means
for a sender to "own" the mailbox. Does it mean, "sending system
has reliable current information about an ASCII-only alternative
address for the destination mailbox"?<br>
</p>
<p>I'm sorry to get stuck on this. I imagine there was already
effort put into this wording. Writing clearly and simply is hard!
<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
