Re: [idn] WG last call summary

2002-03-18 09:30:03
The objections from the Taiwanese (non-wg members btw) are noted to the
group.
See http://www.imc.org/idn/mail-archive/msg05977.html

None of them provide any useful technical information to the last call.
Neither are the protest within the IETF process as described in RFC2026
Section 6.5.

I have to disagree with this.

first of all, there's no such thing as a wg member.   anybody who
contributes to the discussion is as much a member as anyone else.

second, this is useful technical input, and the problems with
TC/SC equivalence are serious.  even if they can't be fixed 
reasonably with the current DNS protocol, they do have some
bearing on the applicability of IDN.

third, I don't see why you say these are not within the IETF process,
but I find no justification for that statement.  if nothing else,
the spirit of IETF has always been to consider any constructive input,
even if it were not presented in exactly the correct way.
