The IESG has received an appeal. It can be found here: http://www.ietf.org/iesg/appeal/morfin-2010-03-10.pdf JFC Morfin included these comments in the cover note: > > Basically this appeal documents that IDNA2008 enlight capacities > and principles that are built in the Internet technology but that > were not used. This is a great thing. However the IESG has not > included a disclaimer on top of these documents, nor foreseen how > and where the necessary IDNA user-side issues are to be discussed > and documented. This may lead people like me to unpredictably toy > with them without any established Adminance (governance of the tools > to be managed by the Governance) arrangement, or organizations like > ICANN to engage into inappropriate testing. > > The document size is impressive. There is three reasons to that: > > - the impact on the Internet usage architecture is potentially > impressive > > - the change is not in the technology, but in the way to consider > the technology and the way it addresses multiplicity. IDNA2008 is > about pople's multilinguization while IDNA2003 was about Unicode's > globalization. This is a big change that multilinguists can discuss. > However, everyone has to understand it simplifies the complexity of > handling multiplicity (RFC 3439 - principle of simplicity) in > conformance with RFC 1858 to do it at fringes. RFC 1958 also advises > to keep the first solution when it works. > > - the third reasons is that I do not want to be accused of not having > checked my rationale for Interplus and further Intersem work. NB. I > call Interplus is what I think Internet needs to be able to fully > support the Intersem (that the IDNA2008's approaches simplifies), and > the Intersem is what IDNA2008 introduces: the capacity for brain to > brain interintelligibility. > > The document is also maintained as a wiki under > http://iucg.org/wiki/100310_-_JFCM_Appeal_to_the_IESG.
