ISTM that it’s always English speakers who are concerned about people who speak languages not written in Latin characters.
Thanks you for your concern, but I don’t think that forking technical discussions and coming up with drafts that most of the community will not be able to read is solving any problem.
I don't want and I'm pretty sure Lloyd doesn want anyone to write I-Ds in
Hebrew or Tamil, I want people who can say informed things about IDN and
other i18n proposals that involve strings written in their languages.

In article <b03e8de5-0fe1-bd27-7120-ffa129419bb6@xxxxxxxxxx> you write:
We want to promote all kinds of diversity here: race, gender,
sexual orientation, AND ethnicity.
Actually, I'm more interested in diversity of sconomic backgrounds, in
particular, countries that aren't in the G20, and that speak languages
not written in latin characters, because people's use of and
experience of the Internet are quite different.
For example, in India there are tiny little data packages that give
you a megabyte of data on your phone for a few days. I expect people
who use those packages use their phones differently from people with
gigabytes per month.
