Re: [gnso-whois-study] Documents for tomorrow's call
First, there is nothing in sac027 that relates to IDNs. Second, I've been trying to fix-or-kill whois since ... IETF-49 and IETF-51, so "earlier" is the correct answer. Third, the intersection between Steve and Dave's memo and ASCII strings that begin in "xn--" is ... zero. Turning to CRISP and ISIS, there's the ICANN announcement of September 18th, 2003 on the subject, so even if it were an "advance" (and we don't call each other's protocols "advanced" or "retarded" in the IETF, although "brain dead" is used with some relish), its been around long enough to have been discussed at least once previously. Mercifully, at some Verisign product event and not this study group. Cheers, Eric Patrick Jones wrote: In reviewing the WHOIS Study priority tally, there is an area that this group is overlooking: IDN implications of the current WHOIS. This is not a new issue. Recently, SSAC called attention to this in SSAC 27 (http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac027.pdf), <http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac027.pdf%29,> but IETF and others have been working on it going back to at least 2004, if not earlier. This group might want to discuss protocol advances such as CRISP and IRIS and how these advances provide a way for internationalization of registration data.
