Comments posted on behalf of Satish Babu, who checked whether the final recommends have followed the advice provided in the ALAC Statement on the Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information PDP Initial Report.

1. The GNSO PDP Recommendation #1 is consistent with the ALAC recommendation B1, which states that T & T does not have to be mandatory.
2. GNSO's Recommendation #2 is consistent with ALAC Recommendation B2, which states that forms and document should be capable of accepting input non-ASCII data. GNSO states further that "...data fields be stored and displayed in a way that allows for easy identification of what the different data entries represent and what language(s)/script(s) have been used". It does not go on to say how the former part ("easy identification of what...data entries represent") can be enabled.
3. GNSO Recommendations #3 and #4 are specifically about compliance to gTLD-provider business models and standards (such as RAA and AWIP).
4. GNSO Recommendations #5 and #6 relate to capability and flexibility of the new system to manage non-Roman scripts, and also in maintaining traceability of T & T. This is consistent with ALAC recommendations B2 and B3.
5. GNSO Recommendation #7 points out the need to harmonize these changes with other Whois modifications.
6. GNSO is silent on who shall do the T & T. ALAC had a made a suggestion in this regard in its recommendation B4.
Overall, I feel that GNSO Recommendations are largely consistent with the ALAC recommendations, and that we do not have to submit a fresh comment.
