RE: Punycode at ASCII for IDN & MDN via Y2K Project Management

Correction 1:  "FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)"

Correction 2:  "This is then your goal at the internet/web, it
then is also related to your passive/active goal beyond internet/web technical 
activities."

Corrected also at below emailed copy.

.......... without messing up the registrations that
have been there for decades.

The proposal is for new registrations, why twist the issue?
 Previous registrations would become sort after learning
curve developments like I said to you.

 
ASCII is also *machine code* for goodness sake! You
just do
not see it as machine code because virtually all
software
knows how to translate it to something you can read.
Any
information stored on computers and transmitted over
digital
networks is *machine code* - it is only a matter of
whether
your software can present this or that machine code in
human-readable form or not.

You are putting a molecular backend eye to ASCII, when you
know quite well we are discussing from a user and practical
layer, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ASCII_full.svg
 That image shows you "Complete set of printable ASCII
characters" and the letters are  roman/latin based
letters.  These and a few symbols are what the frontend
internet/web user sees / is able to see at the frontend
layer.  I am concerned about the nepotistic network that has
developed where a shortcut is being given to ASCII
roman/latin character based language at the frontend layer
however for the non-ASCII based languages the user gets an
almost backend / machine code service.  Thus the proposal is
to give a equal field where all users get a frontend layer
service.  This proposal also would bring about MDN
(Multilingual Domain Names) an issue that you are totally
ignoring.

 
.......you can't just update
existing registrations to new format instantly on
millions
of DNS servers all over the World operated by
different
organizations. If ICANN starts doing that, the whole
domain-name-lookup infrastructure will submerge in
complete
chaos for months, which would render the Internet
virtually
unusable. 

However you are accusing without any technical basis and
all your arguments are FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt). 
You know that IDN is based on ASCII machine code thus
non-IDN / ASCII registrations should also use ASCII machine
code.  You want ASCII at the frontend however you should not
have a nepotistic service, quite the opposite you need to
implement an equal service to all users at the frontend
layer.  Thus you need to put the equal service for all users
not that you give one user class a poor frontend layer
that's almost backend machine code and another class a
rich frontend layer.  Then there is a class that want MDN
(Multilingual Domain Names) however you are basically say
don't give them any service.  Thus your proposal is a
nepotism one where only close conspiratorial charactered
friends get a real frontend service and those that are not
have to become close conspiratorial charactered friends. 
This is then your goal at the internet/web, it
then is also related to your passive/active goal beyond
internet/web technical activities.
