my comments on draft-ietf-idnabis-protocol-14 (second part)

[Vint Cerf]

John,

thanks for this.

Martin,

can you be persuaded to go along with the -15 version that John is  
releasing, even if it does not contain all the editorial  
recommendations you have made? John's point about pace and delay are  
relevant here (to me anyway) since we are now racing the clock to get  
this into IESG queue and also to get final documents reported to RFC  
editor for publication before ICANN has to move on with IDN TLD  
registrations.
