Re: [gnso-idng] restarting discussions on IDN gTLD

Edmon, Chuck,

I continue to think that there is utility in communication between IDN 
implementing parties transcends contractual regimes, and this utility 
is not limited to consistent character set tables across multiple 
instances of each implemented script.
Additionally, the rate of change to the IANA root is a resource 
constraint which transcends contractual regimes.
It seems to me that a policy rational exists for IDN deployment taking 
priority over non-IDN deployment, co-existing with a policy rational 
for underserved populations taking priority over adequately served 
populations.
I'm puzzled by your #2, but that may be some of the DNAME vs NS 
discussion, applied to ASCII and non-ASCII labels offered by the same 
operator -- though there was discussion of the equivalent between the 
four CDNC members back in 2001, so cooperation, a kind of "mirroring" 
was considered between distinct registry operators, for SC/TC 
management reasons.
