Discussion
Kim reported that he had integrated all the comments and text submitted into the draft framework, including the document supplied by the host organisation. This has now been circulated. What has not been done is any rewording or restructuring, which means that the style is fragmented.
Jothan asked for people to indicate whether the team was in a position to submit by Friday and Kim noted that most sections have text but the conclusions need work. Jothan noted that there were two empty sections (8 & 12). Kim noted that it might be possible to fix this by redistributing text.
Andrew Sullivan stated that the main thing to do is to sort out the conslusions as they are not sufficiently explicit right now. Doing that should shape the other changes needed in the report.
Cary noted that Latin script is not amenable to technical algorithmic solutions for Variants. However, it should be clear that ths does not mean that there is no need for concern in the policy arena. Andrew noted that policy constraints are very difficult on the root level and Cary suggested developing policy in-step with applications. Andrew noted that doing it this way involves starting a large policy infrastructrure every time a new code-point is requested. He also suggested adding a paragraph clearly stating that the team had recommended that policy should be made for the characters requested rather than the entire Latin script and also that this paragraph should show up near the start of the document.
Andrew noted that the other teams have reviewed each code point and provided advice on each one. Cary stated that it was not practical for the Latin team to take that approach as the Latin script is used in more languages than any other script and so it is not practical to take that approach as it would inevitably lead to policy problems.
Kim suggested sharing a summary for members to respond to and Nadya supported that.
The absolute deadline is 16 October as that would allow a 30 day comment period in advance of the ICANN meeting.
