Comment:
the original spelling is permissible under Shenzhen ICN Rec. 60C.2, since the given name Gerard or Gérard, which dates at least to the Early Middle Ages when Latin was the international language of Europe, has a well-established latinized form and is not correctable under Shenzhen ICN Art. 60.8
