The Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ((ICANN) has concluded plans to host
a webinar via its Policy Development
Process (PDP) Working Group on Translation and Transliteration of Contact
Information, reports ITRealms.
The PDP, ITRealms has been chartered to determine
whether contact information data should be translated or transliterated into a
common language and/or script.
The group, ITRealms gathered, has published its
Initial Report recommending not to make translation/transliteration of contact
information mandatory but to allow for it on a voluntary basis.
The public comment period on this Report, according to ITRealms correspondent, is open until 1 February
2015.
ITRealms further gathered that to help
the community understand the Working Group's reasoning and to facilitate the
submission of public comments, the Working Group co-Chairs will hold a 30-minute
webinar on Friday 16 January at 14:00 UTC.
The aim is to present
the preliminary recommendations and allow for an extended question and answer
session, providing an opportunity for an interactive exchange between the community
and members of this PDPWorking Group.
