%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.)
