Cher Russ,
The debate about me is depressing. Only signatories to the PR-action
against JFC Morfin are interested. They are not very credible. Their
doctrine is globalization: internationalization of the medium
(Unicode), localization of the terminal (CLDR) and identification of
linguistic context (RFC 4646). This approach is consistent with the
early structuralist theories of Chomsky. It removes language barriers
between IBM and its foreign clients. It is limited in its capacity and
number of languages. It is unable of multilingualism (all languages
architecturally supported as English). It is incapable to scale
towards a semantic internet. You see it with IDNA.
I wanted to publish multilingual books according the pedagogy of
cybernetic (Wienner, Coufignal, Perret, etc.). It was evident that I
did not have to start from the texts in languages, but from the
semantics to be expressed in languages. Not being a linguist (I do not
speak English: I use Google and Prompt, and I read again so-so) I
committed to the vision of JFC Morfin: the approach of enunciation,
repositories (MDRS), brain to brain interintelligibility, etc. Errors
of the WG-LTU were of principle. The danger was in its vagueness (JFC
Morfin made it corrected), confusion towards ISO 3166 (which was
corrected last summer at ISO) and in its lack of integration of IDNA
(what falls to me after JFC was released from Harald Alvestrand's
list).
I knew that I would be attacked in "IVFT." I thought that this would
be based on technical (and I have communicated very little). Not on
rather ridiculous ad hominems and word games that we should have
passed the age for a very long time. In fact it has been courteous and
very nice on the part of everyone except the "clique" (I think that's
the technical term) of our religious opponents. This is why:
-- Except further provocations I do not intend to appeal
-- I shall not prove my identity separately from all the other IETF
-- I will encourage my friends to publish Drafts for testing a
multilingual and Semantic Internet without pollution, excluding
technical and political pressure,
-- If we or our texts are subject to exclusion for reasons not
technically documented this will be visible to all.

Dear Russ,
I am not sure what should be the "next step" and I wish that all is
clear and transparent in the management of what I take for a censure
for offence of opinion or nationality. I think like somebody else, I
use the technical vocabulary appropriate for my thought. I think in
the same mother tongue as another Frenchman. Is it to protest with Mr.
Newman or with Mr. Presuhn or to appeal directly to the IESG?
I used in vain the RFC-Editor find out what was the rule. I found
nothing. Mr Presuhn says moreover that there are none. I would also
like to know how locate in your archives the cases where the identity
of somebody has been challenged within the IETF in such manner and
what procedures have been initiated.
With my thanks and my best regards
