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)

CONSENSUS STATEMENT:

(6) Conversion, validation, and related issues.

(6.a) The discussion of Unicode conversions in Section 5.2 of
Protocol-05 is satisfactory.   (P.7)

(6.b) The discussion of A-label validation in Section 5.4 of
Protocol is satisfactory, even though it leaves considerable
flexibility to implementation decisions.  (P.8)

(6.c) Labels are not permitted to start with combining marks.
(P.13)
