Proposal for the charter

All,
Repeating here what I said at the BOF regarding the following sentence in
the charter:
"Separate requirements for valid IDNs at registration time, vs. at
resolution time".
My suggestion is to change the wording because it is too "registration
centric": consider that the act of registration generally only occurs at
the second or third level, towards a domain name registry. However, we
want a solution applicable to all levels of the DNS tree, where
delegations naturally occur without any registration. For the matter at
stake, I like the wording from RFC 3454, which makes a distinction between
"stored strings" (which encompasses registered domains, but then also
other kinds of storage like e.g. entries in a certificate) and "queries"
(volatile existences to be matched against stored identifiers). The
proposed substitution could be
"To take into account the different nature of 'stored strings' vs
'queries' (cf RFC 3454) and leverage on them to pursue interoperability
with IDNA2003"
Best regards
Marcos
