Latin Script Diacritics PDP Working Group: Difference between revisions

Line 93:

Regional and community perspectives, such as those documented in the APRALO Bytes update of November 2025, have emphasized that Latin-diacritic issues have been a long-standing concern, especially in francophone and other communities where diacritics are integral to language. These updates also underscore the expectation that any eventual policy should be narrowly tailored, technically robust, and closely aligned with IDN variant and UA work streams.<ref name="apr-ldpdp"></ref>

== Status and Timeline ==

As of late 2025, the Latin Script Diacritics PDP Working Group had:

* completed its initial pass through the EPDP on IDNs recommendations to assess their applicability to Latin-diacritic cases;

* developed and refined a framework for distinguishing Latin-diacritic sets from IDN variant sets and for scoping eligible ASCII/diacritic pairs; and

* begun drafting preliminary recommendations and stress-testing them through case studies and WG discussions.<ref name="lsd-confluence"></ref><ref name="apr-ldpdp"></ref>

According to an APRALO status update in November 2025, the WG anticipated publishing an Initial Report for public comment in early 2026 (with a target of January 2026) and delivering a Final Report to the GNSO Council around August 2026, subject to the pace of deliberations and community feedback.<ref name="apr-ldpdp"></ref>
