Hi Ayden,

Thanks for the question, it seems that when it comes to a matter related to
technical aspects (they are using IETF terminology), "must" is often used
while "encourage" (6 occurrences )is more for informational matter and
urging registries to cooperate for example.  knowing how much IDNs are
facing as problems to be implemented and not necessarily seen as a good
business opportunity for many registrars except for some non-latin scripts,
I would think the guidelines should be implementable and less onerous in
order to provide registrants more choice.
we can put a note anyway saying that we think that we prefer the term
"shall" or "should" at least which is probably stronger "encourage".
btw the staff is keen to give us an extension and asking when we can
submit. I would suggest to them that we can submit by this Friday.

Best,

Rafik
