Would make the following observations: </div><div><br></div><div>1). In general the GAC seeks, along with many others, an enhanced opportunity for multilingualism on the Internet; and thus an IDN process which, within technical constraints, is as flexible and attractive (to vendors) as possible; </div><div>2). That while we should take note, and learn from all the excellent work that has taken place previously, we should be innovative and ambitious in our work to help enhance the adoption of IDNs; </div><div><br></div><div><u>Specifically on A5: </u></div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>Completely agree we should not, in any sense, set arbitrary limits on variants; this would be very negative; </li><li>Agree that "Guidance" would, of course, be useful. </li></ul><div><br></div></div><div><u>Specifically on A6: </u></div><div><br></div><div><ul><li>It would be very negative indeed, as noted in the WG response, to have a situation where a varian is invalidated through no action on the applicant's behalf; </li><li>Ay potential issue, necessitating, a change to RZ-LGR should be publicised well in advance with necessary information communicated to all interested parties; </li><li>Completely agree that grandfathering has to apply. </li></ul><div><br></div></div><div>many regards </div><div><br></div><div>Nigel </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 28 Feb 2022 at 22:27, Tomslin Samme-Nlar <<a href="mailto:mesumbeslin@gmail.com" target="_blank">mesumbeslin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Hi all,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Just recording that NCSG has no objection to the draft outcome on A5 & A6.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards,</div><div dir="auto">Tomslin</div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 9 Feb 2022, 3:22 am Ariel Liang, <<a href="mailto:ariel.liang@icann.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ariel.liang@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
