I am unaware of any activities being conducted by either the IETF or
ICANN that they are labeling IDNA2009 and IDNA2010.

ICANN's IDN Guidelines must, of necessity, provided recommendations
about the transition from IDNA (aka IDNA2003) to IDNABIS (aka IDNA2008)
the final details of which, despite your assertion to the contrary, are
still pending. My understanding of the Chair's proposal was that our
working group has no need to address transitional issues separately, and
that the Guidelines group is the appropriate forum for their further
consideration.

Saying this for the last time -- I am a member of the Guidelines group
and have no special authority in or over it. I do, however, hold the pen
on the text it produces, and under the terms that I have already
described here, am prepared to ensure that the Guideline's group's
consideration of transitional matters is informed by the IDNA2008 w.g.'s
discussion.
I'm not quite sure how you intend to make making binding recommendations
to the gTLD and other participation registries that bypass the
Guidelines, but will thank you not to instruct me about "all I need to
do" to have you refrain from undertaking such action.
