Hi - Let it suffice for me to say that I believe the gentleman is mistaken. I do not intend to waste additional bandwidth on this thread. Those interested in ltru and its work will find our charter at http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ltru-charter.html and our archives at http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ltru/index.html
Bravo, Randy! This is the good spirit.
I fully agree we need there a few people more who know and care about the network architecture and who have read the charter. We will soon discuss the charter, so now is a good time to join. Every point which can be addressed/clarified within the WG will not have to be addressed during the Last Call, or will permit to speed up the Last Call.
FYI I, I consider hosting a one/two day(s) concertation meeting on Multilingual Internet and MGN (multilingual generalized/global network) in Versailles. After the UNESCO Bamako meeting on Multilingual Cyberspace, and the Paris EGENI meeting on July 2nd.
I have here access to a prestigious XVIIIth century lounge (Chamber of Commerce). I plan informally inviting people from MINC, ISO, UNESCO, ITU, Eurolinc, AFRAC, WSIS, GAC, etc. Every IETF interested member would be welcome. This could be at the occasion of the IETF meeting (days before or the day after). The room can accept 30 persons on a table and 100 otherwise. A 200 cosy seats room at the Town Hall (on the Castle Avenue) could also be used. This would be for some brain storming before Tunis.
Topics could include:
- a Network Technical Document (could also be an IETF draft?) on a "MGN languages and cultures identification framework"
- IPv6 international divide. Sovereignty over national naming and numbering spaces. National intelligence protection.
- technical support of the regalian services.
- IDN vs. ML.ML names and multilingual grassroots international efforts and deployment
- international classes and groups
- multilingual keyboards and panel to support universal applications propositions.
- CRC (context reference centers) and decentralised universal root and Identification Grids.
- participation to ISO committees, and international structures
- consideration of IAB RFC 3869, and R&D strategies of the different governments
- MLTF project and directory
- report on MGN applications and project and on SNHN support.
I am ready to include some form of F2F preparation of the WG-ltru current Draft being hold there (I informed of my invitation of the WG for a F2F meeting). May be over a diner (?). To try to settle at least a few points in a more general architectural and consensual perspective, with the legitimacy of the leading concerned parties being involved (I note that I am the only non-English speaker at the WG-ltru, what is preoccupying when dealing with a change in the Internet support of languages, and a responsibility I would love to share with other non-English speakers. I am very concerned by the IETF deliverables being deprecated by reality before being published).
I suggest that those who are interested contact me off-line not to overload the IETF general mailing list.
