Talk:International Civil Aviation Organization

message: It would be a shame to neglect writing biographical entry for this gentleman whose work was instrumental in the early efforts of international civil aviation cooperation. There is a ICAO News Release under the year 1969 on the matter along with photographic records (with permission to distribute freely for non-commercial purposes subject to source being credited) on the ICAO website, in addition to a short ICAO biography. Anyone willing and able to commit the time and energy? Thanks. (Weirpwoer (talk) 11:54, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: As far as I am aware, no international standard is promulgated. I should mention that ICK-KAY-O is also a common pronunciation. treesmill 12:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The ICAO is also responsible for defining the standards and formats for passports, including biometric passports. This is not mentioned in this article.
Can anybody explain why the ICAO is responsible for passports? This seems perverse to me. Why should an organisation responsible for one form of transport, decide on a document which is required by international travellers using all forms of transport (aircraft, car, bus, train, ferry, on foot)?

replies: text: Thanks for your explanation. Yes, if passports where no standardised it would cause confusion (and also Identity documents, which can also be used for international travel). My problem is why should the body responsible for air travel do this, when passports are used for all methods of crossing borders? There would be an equal argument to give the job to the UN railway standards committee, or any other body. Also, a passport is not a commercial document, but a legal document (like a Birth certificate). The prime user is not the transport company, but the immigration / emigration services.

replies: text: The answer is probably that the United Nations has been given the task of standardizing passports, and it has been delegated to an appropriate UN organisation, and the ICAO was selected. There is no UN Railway organisation. There are different UN committies for economy in Europe, Asia, Africa, that also handles road and railway transport, but no such global organisation. Of course the ISO could have done it also, but now the ICAO does it.-- 217.208.214.39 (talk) 19:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Good catch!  I renamed the link in this article to read Philippe Rochat (aviation), and I put a link to this article under the surname Rochat.

replies: text: I've removed the non-English languages from the Infobox title, as it looks awful. As there is no previous discussion here allowing this, I'eve removed them per WP:BRD. Is there a guideline requiring that the 5 official UN languaes be used in UN-related infoboxes? I certainly hope not, because this is very cumbersome.

message: The article 1970 links here with the sentence: The Soviet Union enters the ICAO, making Russian the fourth official language of the organization.  However, there is no mention anywhere about this fact (or why there are five now). Senator2029 | talk | contributions 12:26, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
