Any updates to the UASG 007 document (and other relevant UASG documents) needed based on this discussion? Edmon From: UA-discuss [mailto:ua-discuss-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Zied BOUZIRI Sent: Wednesday, May 9, 2018 5:31 PM To: Vittorio Bertola <vittorio.bertola@open-xchange.com> Cc: ua-discuss <ua-discuss@icann.org> Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] Mixing between RTL and LTR scripts Hi I think Yes , we share this expectation. And this is what we work in the TF-AIDN : https://www.icann.org/news/blog/making-progress-with-the-arabic-script-in-do... TF-AIDN has 35 members hailing from 18 countries across the globe, from the the (very big) Arabic-speaking world as you say ! The members come from a variety of backgrounds and cover a wide range of Asian and African languages using the Arabic script.

I understand your point: the natural expectation of an Arabic speaker is that the email address will always be displayed LTR if it is in Latin characters, while it will always be displayed RTL if it is in Arabic characters, no matter whether the surrounding text is LTR or RTL. But what would/should happen if the email address had a mix of Latin and Arabic characters? Also, is in your opinion this expectation shared by all the peoples in the (very big) Arabic-speaking world, and even by those that speak other languages written with Arabic characters? I am wondering whether these rules depend on the country, on the script or on the language.
