Thanks Mike. Regarding the first part, I think the following comes
closer to capturing my concerns:

There may be only one IDN ccTLD string per ISO 3166-1 entry per relevant
script per relevant language, but in any event no more than one
fasttrack IDN per relevant language. 

That allows the broader concept for the overall ccNSO PDP but keeps it
somewhat narrower for the fasttrack.

Answering my own email with some suggested language, picking up on a
suggestion Chuck made, and trying to define 'relevant' as Robin and I
had
suggested:

There may be only one IDN ccTLD string per ISO 3166-1 entry per relevant
language, except that in countries where relevant languages are rendered
in
more than one script, there may be one IDN ccTLD string per ISO 3166-1
entry
per relevant script per relevant language. "Relevant" languages are
defined
as Official languages, or in nations where there are no Official
languages,
languages used by more than ten percent (10%) of the nation's
population.

I suspect the 10% rule may not work for some, but let's start the
discussion
to get this more narrowly tailored.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi all,

I have a question on this new reco of the WG: There should be only one
IDN
ccTLD string per ISO 3166-1 entry per relevant script per relevant
language.

Does this mean that the USA, for example, can have .us IDN strings in
every
script of every language used by a significant number of people in the
US?
If 'relevant' is not defined as 'significant number of users', then how?
Is
it conceivable that this could be more carefully drafted to consider the
specific Indian concern, but not allow such a broad swath of IDN ccTLDs
for
every country?

Thanks,
Mike

hi,

Again thanks to Edmon for getting the report in time for this meeting 
- especially as we need to submit our response before the 15 Aug 
deadline.

As there has not been any discussion on the list about this response 
yet, I wanted to make sure people had seen this item.

I will be proposing that we agree to send this response in by the 
deadline of 15 August. So if you believe there are any edits 
necessary, please send them to the list for discussion as soon as 
possible. Except for this one item, the rest of the response is 
believed to be in keeping with the previous responses and positions 
taken over the last months.

Thanks.
