[PC-NCSG] NCSG Response to the Translation & Transliteration of Contact Information PDP WG

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi Avri,

You?re right. I think the point I was trying to make is not very clear here. I should probably make it so.

My point was that, if the registrant chooses, he/she/it could opt to translate/transliterate the necessary contact info before submitting it during domain name registration, and thus bearing the cost. This would be possible to do without a policy being put in place requiring translation/transliteration as the status quo.

I?ll try to change the language making that point clearer, but does the explanation change your mind about the position at all? If you have other reservations, I?d be happy to discuss them.

Thanks.

Amr

Isn't the expense being talked about for development of translations mechanisms.  If this happens, why would it be anyone other than the Registrars responsibility? As to whether they pass that on to the registrants, that is a market differentiators.  The good ones wouldn't.  the profits before people ones might just pass it on.

We have a relatively large number of NCSG members on this WG, so I hope to get some feedback on the responses I?ve provided.

This PDP should should especially be one of importance to registrants coming from countries where the language used is not based on Latin script, but it is still one of importance to all registrants.

To what extent this is true, I can?t be sure. However, if there are, I?d be especially grateful to hear them now.
