Bob,

 

The point is not whether a losing registrar will be forced to send it in Japanese.  The point is he Registrar MUST at least send it in Engligh.  EITHER Registrar can then send more information in a different language.  Remember, under these principals, it could be the losing Registrar that is handling the authentication of the request.  What I would not want to see happen is that the losing Registrar is able to send the notice ONLY in whatever language they want.  They should be free to send it IN ADDITION TO, but not ONLY.

 

What could be easily gamed, is that we could decide as the losing registrar to only send the authentication in Latin.  While I should be able to send it in Latin, I should also have to send it in English.  Especially if I am the sole Registrar responsible for the Authentication.

Rob.

Robert,

To me, this clause reads that you must at least send the notification in
english.  However, you can also send it in any other language you want, as
well as sending instructions in any other language you want.

Dear Rob:  I don't see it that way.  English is mandatory.  I'd like to see a life sized picture of *you* sending a Japanese message to a Japanese registrant who is trying to transfer *out_of* you as the registraR;-(

Read that "may", below, and see what you think are the chances that a non Japanese registraR will send the alternate message in Japanese?

Regards, BobC

Rob.
