Submission Summary:
Instead of using the words "variant and not variant" simpler words could be used. Example "similar or not similar" or "the same or not the same". These words could also be used interchangeably.
Submission Summary:
I strongly support the PDP for Latin Script Diacritics as it is crucial for accurately representing the cultural and linguistic identity of regions like Québec in the digital space. The ability to delegate both ASCII and IDN versions of gTLDs, such as .QUÉBEC, will help maintain the authenticity of our geographical names. This initiative aligns with Universal Acceptance goals, promoting an inclusive Internet where users can interact in their o...

Support the PDP specific to diacritics of the Latin script
Submission Summary:
(French below)
Louis-Philippe Bellier, with nearly 20 years of experience in web development, marketing, analytics, blockchain, and search engine performance, supports the PDP for diacritics in Latin script gTLDs. He highlights the inconsistency where diacritics are allowed in subdomains but not in gTLDs, complicating digital representation, especially for languages like French. Supporting this PDP is crucial for technical coher...
Submission Summary:
I strongly advocate for the creation of an internationalized top-level domain (IDN gTLD), such as .québec, without additional costs. This initiative aligns perfectly with the principles of universal acceptance, ensuring that all users can access and interact with the Internet in their native language and script.
Implementing this PDP will address the long-standing need for inclusivity and equality in the digital space, especially for reg...

Le registraire WHC Online Solutions (WHC.ca) soutient la proposition de PDP sur les caractères diacritiques latins lors d'une attribution parallèle au même demandeur d'un gTLD IDN et de son équivalent ASCII.
Submission Summary:
CIRA supports initiating a PDP to examine the situation where a base ASCII gTLD and its Latin script diacritic counterpart are not treated as variants, and to explore the necessary mechanisms that would enable a single registry and operator to manage both gTLDs concurrently.

We support this initiative as a registrar with a strong presence in francophone markets.
We are confident that the creation of an...
Submission Summary:
I support the call for the call for a single issue PDP
Submission Summary:
The Latin GP did not, and could not possibly have, considered the case of code points being variants due to their being "considered the same" by users of one or another of the hundreds of languages using the Latin script. There are simply too many such languages for any small group to be familiar with them all, or even a significant fraction of them. (There certainly is not anything resembling a community of Latin script users.) Therefore, ...
Submission Summary:
CORE Association supports the proposal of a PDP for handling the diacritics issue, but we would also request the Issue Report to be amended to:
1) Clarify the goal of String Evaluation is always user confusion and not just assessing visual similarity as such;
2) Propose to the GNSO Council that stressing the point above could be a solution for concrete cases such as .quebec/.québec.
Rationale:
We belie...

--
Kaleidos’ Support for the Proposed Policy Development Process (PDP) for Latin Script Diacritics for a Richer and More Diverse Internet
Submission Summary:
We support the implementation of a PDP specific to diacritics of the Latin script as part of a simultaneous delegation of an IDN gTLD and its ASCII counterpart to the same requestor.
We believe that this PDP paves the way to a long-awaited solution, especially for current and future geoTLD applying for a geographic name based in part on diacritics of the Latin script.
Submission Summary:
Afnic fully supports the implementation of a policy development process (PDP) dedicated to Latin script diacritics version of gTLDs. This PDP is important to ensure that all users can access and interact with the Internet in their native language. And as stated by the OIF in their comment on this Preliminary Issue Report, the implementation of this PDP will address the longstanding need for inclusivity and equality in the digital space, partic...
Submission Summary:
I support this proposal. As a specialist of French language -- see a list of my publications at https://benoitmelancon.quebec/langue_biblio.html -- I think it is essential that all latin script diacritics be recognized on the Web. On a more personal note I want my domain name -- benoitmelancon.quebec -- to be the same as my social identity: beno_î_t melan_ç_on dot qu_é_bec. This use of latin script diacritics has been proposed for a long time:...
