<p class="MsoNormal">A question for the SSAC regarding their comments to questions a1 and a4:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The Root Zone LGR procedure defines a Maximal Starting Repertoire —a subset of IDNA protocol valid code points— of which any given script LGR repertoire selects the allowable code points. The final product is merged
into the Root Zone LGR, the code point repertoire of which could be smaller or identical to the Maximal Starting Repertoire, but never larger.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Can SSAC elaborate on their comments to questions a1 and a4? on one hand (a1) SSAC recommends "the root zone must use one and only one set of rules for the Root LGR procedure". On the other hand (a4) SSAC is of
the opinion that "there is no reason to prohibit" and application so long it is allowed by IDNA, albeit variant labels will remain disallowed. Is SSAC of the opinion that this should apply to any IDN application in the future
<span style="font-size:10.5pt">—an IDN label should not be prohibited so long its code points are IDNA valid</span>?<o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:black">2. According to the Rationale, it appears that the SSAC is presenting this advice to protect registries, registrars and registrants from themselves. In other words, the advice assumes that registries, registrars and registrants will
want to activate more strings than they would be able to handle.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:black">a. Normally all policy starts from the basic presumption that each of the actors involved will act in a rational manner and in their own best interests. This is the basis of all business and economic theory. But this policy
recommendation takes the opposite view and starts from the premise that registries, registrars and registrants will essentially try to activate more than they can handle and thus we need to protect them from themselves. Is there any evidence upon which that
assumption is based?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:black">c. Assuming we either have or do not have a limit, how do we determine when a registry, registrar or registrar has more challenges than they can handle? What do we do? Is this really an ICANN problem?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:black">d. Finally, given all of the above, shouldn’t we allow registries, registrars and registrars figure out what it is that they can handle as opposed to placing an arbitrary limit?
