In French:<br>
State = Government<br>
state = status<br><br>
In the roman world at least: <br>
xxxx = word<br>
Xxxx = Family name.<br><br>
I reviewed again the response of Harald, considering the way he and
Patrik seem to understand the ICANN questionnaire as engineers, when I
try to understand it as a multilinguist (multilinguistics: the
cybernetics of the linguistic diversity, i.e. how languages can and will
technicaly coexist, conflict, or mutually assist). I also have had
some feed-backs from the IUCG controverted Glossary effort. <br><br>
As a result, the main questions seem to be: <br><br>
1. what is a variant?<br>
2. how does it differs from the ICANN definition of alias? <br>
3. How ICANN does name an IETF alias? <br>
4. How does that relate with Webster alias ("<b>:</b> otherwise
called <b>:</b> otherwise known as"). <br><br>
The difficulty here seems to be "otherwise called/known" by
who?<br><br>
Depending on inputs, it seems that this "who" can be the
registry, the protocol, the UI, the IUI, the doxa, the multilinguistic
rules or algorithm, ICANN, a global semiotic authority, the TM owners,
the towns, the Governments, Courts of Justice, Chambers of Commerce,
Academies, etc. etc. The main source of experience on this is to be Fast
Track: are there already some information from its real registrations and
registrant/user comments.<br><br>

PS. In the ICANN document I would change "concept/idea" into
"concept/notion" for clarity sake.<br><br>
