<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Jothan<div dir="auto">Thank you for the detailed response.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">1) After approval and implementation of delegation from the root , I did not notice any information sent from IANA about PSL.</div><div dir="auto">We were referred to it only much later.</div><div dir="auto">2) The need to maintain a list dedicated to browser issues is out of our scope. I'm sure there are good reasons to have it, like you said, there is gap between the worlds. The problems in this gap are these: </div><div dir="auto">- Even after you find your way and manage to update the list, it takes VERY long time before browsers will actually adopt it. 6 months is the default with chromium (unless you want to expedite the process which requires downloading the source and re compile it with the changes). </div><div dir="auto">So this has to be very clear from the beginning. Even after all procedures with ICANN & IANA are done there is a second stage, that can take just as long.</div><div dir="auto">- Having said that, we did mange to expedite the process, with the help of good people in both Mozilla and chromium projects. But the biggest enigma , something we still haven't sorted out, is how to reach Apple Safari. Zero, none information . Just a big enigma which is very frustrating.</div><div dir="auto">3)Thanks for the info about UASG I will certainly check it out</div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 27, 2022, 06:28 Jothan Frakes <<a href="mailto:jothan@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">jothan@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">Hi Meir-<br><br>I have had some dialog with your CEO on this related to the introduction of this TLD and its subdomains and the PSL PR expediting for <a href="https://github.com/publicsuffix/list/pull/1595" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/publicsuffix/list/pull/1595</a>.

And you're likely to meet others that experience some of the challenges that are unknown unknowns in navigating IDN interoperability.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">Candidly, there is a massive chasm between the world of software and solution developers and the world of ICANN, and the PSL is a rope bridge between them that has been in place. Devs have zero tolerance for bureaucracy and candidly there is not a place that exists within the ICANN multistakeholder model that has any amount of benefits to offset the friction that participation would represent (costs, time, obligations, etc).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br>Browsers (etc users of PSL) voluntarily include it, give or take, at their pace. Can't force anything on them, and straying from our status quo has some of them talking about splintering off their own. So imagine having to hunt the resource down being multiplied by the number of browsers, each with their own process, and you might see how this has been left in its current state.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">-Jothan</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 26, 2022 at 6:44 PM Hugo Salgado <<a href="mailto:hsalgado@nic.cl" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">hsalgado@nic.cl</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>Hi Meir.
