[ga] More comments on IANA language tables

[Danny Younger <dannyyounger@xxxxxxxxx>]

excerpt:  "While linguistic enhancement efforts on
every TLD, both in allowed labels and in content, are
necessary, there is need to harmonize the choice of
permitted language tables. Therefore, a strict policy
should be formulated that grants the owners of any
given language (i.e. the population born into
the cultural context of any given language) the right
to define its proper use." -- Arabic Domain Name Task
Force

excerpt:  "Advocating Mr. Fattal?s discussion, and
highlighting the idea that it is the Arab?s right to
define their language in a language table of their
own, Mr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh in his capacity as the
President of the Arab Knowledge & Management Society
(AKMS), and chairman & founder of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh
Organization (TAGO) fully supported Mr. Fattal?s
assertion that language is the property of a
respective language community; this is why only
recognized experts from certain language communities
have the legitimate right to develop any tables and
standards related to their respective language."

perhaps Jefsey, who now sits on the Board of MINC, can
comment further on the future roll-out of IDNs...
