consensus item - "IDNA2008"

[YAO Jiankang]

I agree with Vint's suggestion. we can stick to use IDNA2008.

now many of us explain the IDNA2008 as that IDNAbis is completed in 2008.

Why not use a different understanding?

IDNA2008 means that we have created an IETF IDNAbis WG and done the essential work in 2008. 2008 is a milestone for IDNA.

So I prefer to using IDNA2008 as the historical memory.

  Although we may not finalize all consensus items until early in 2009, I would like to ask for consensus to stick with the "IDNA2008" nomenclature for two reasons:


  1. the bulk of the work has been done in that year
  2. the term clearly distinguishes IDNA2008 from IDNA2003


  I recognize that suggestions have been made to rename the work "IDNA" or "IDNA2009" but it seems to me that we have a body of material (draft I-Ds and list commentary) that references "IDNA2008" and that it serves clarity to retain the binding.


  May I assume concurrence?
