%hanks for that reminder!
The IETF is often accused of disregarding input from organized bodies
and listening to only input from individuals that speak up in the IETF;
your note is a good reminder that we need to not tilt the other way.
(I checked the idna-arabicscript list and see that you've been arguing
the same position there, and so has the other person with a .ir address
- so it's clear that the people representing the ASIWG to the IETF don't
have an unanimous voice behind them.)
