Consensus Call Tranche 2 (Document Groupings)
Place your reply here: [YES or NO]
COMMENTS:
Procedure:
There are several decisions that the working group will need to make
to confirm consensus. I will send a series of proposals over the
next two weeks requesting YES or NO positions on each within a 4 day
window. If NO is the response, a reason for that position needs to be
stated. If there is a clear consensus based on responses or in the
absence of a consensus against each proposal, it will be assumed that
the proposal is acceptable to the Working Group.
Parenthesized symbols (e.g., "(R.1)") after the items are references
to the issues lists where additional explanations can be found, as
sent by John Klensin as body parts "idnabis-protocol-issues-rev3" and
"idnabis-rationale-issues-03" on a message titled 'Issues lists and
the "preprocessing" topic' to the working group on 18 August (http://
www.alvestrand.no/pipermail/idna-update/2008-August/002537.html)
This group needs to get its documents out; it is behind its original
schedule. It should be noted that the IDN ccTLD and gTLD selection
initiatives at ICANN have already begun so that delay may weaken the
IETF's ability to assist in a rational deployment of IDNA.
(2) Document Groupings
(2.a) The list of contextual rules and their values, including the
associated IANA Considerations material, should be in Tables, not
Rationale, Protocol, or elsewhere. (R.8, P.1)
(2.b) Protocol and Tables should not be combined, for reasons
discussed extensively on the mailing list.
(2.c) Protocol and Bidi should not be combined because the subject
matter is rather different, as discussed extensively on the mailing
list.
