Hi.

Just a heads-up to lower the odds of anyone's being surprised or
unintentionally left out of the conversation.  Please do not
start a discussion of it on any of the mailing lists copied.

An IETF Last Call was initiated yesterday on
draft-faltstrom-unicode11-05, whose main intention was to follow
the model of RFC 6452 and bring the IANA registry of IDNA code
points into line with Unicode 11.0.  In addition to a few
comments on the IETF list, a discussion started on the I18Nrp
list, the list set up for the BOF held during IETF 102 in
Montreal to try to figure out how to progress the several i18n
documents that have been stalled for some time.  

Because that draft is very much specific to IDNA2008, I would
have expected the discussion to be on the idna-update@ietf.org
list, but I suppose we should all be grateful that we don't have
either parallel discussions on multiple lists or extensive
cross-posting.   (Patrik, it would probably be wise for -06 to
explicitly identify the mailing list on which discussion would
be helpful).

Those who attended or watched the IETF 102 BOF in July will
probably recall that it concluded that a group should be formed
to provide a focus and expert advice on I18n issues to the
community.   It was described as a "directorate" because that
term and organizational arrangement is familiar in the IETF, but
it was quite clear (at least to many of us) that its mission was
to advise, inform, and perhaps even educate the community on
i18n issues, rather than merely advising the ART ADs and/or
designating people to perform reviews late in the Last Call
cycle.  Alexey (as the ART AD who is apparently taking lead
responsibility for this work) has indicated that the
"directorate" should be organized and announced very soon now.

Because (if nothing else) the document follows up on RFC 6452,
which was Standards Track, and because the directorate should
have a chance to come together and review this document and its
relationship to other pending work, the Last Call has now been
cancelled (or, I hope more accurately, deferred).

However, people should be aware of that document, that there has
been a discussion on the I18Nrp list that is certainly relevant
to the IDNA list and effort, that includes details not covered
by the summary above, and may be relevant to the other lists
copied; that the directorate is expected to be announced soon;
and that draft-faltstrom-unicode11 and other relevant I-Ds,
including some expired ones, may soon [re-]appear and require
review and evaluation.

At least until Patrik or the ADs suggest otherwise, the
discussion of draft-faltstrom-unicode11 is on I18Nrp
(subscription and archive information at
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i18nrp )

Happy reading and reviewing.
And apologies for not getting this note out when the discussion
first started up.

    john
    (no particular hats other than interested party although my
hats as ex-EAI Co-Chair and author or contributor to a number of
relevant RFCs and pending documents are around here somewhere)

John,

This is to advise you that I have notified the IESG that I strongly
disagree with this conclusion on the scope of an i18n directorate; I heard
calls for a directorate, not for a body with different characteristics
sharing the name.  I have also notified them that I object to the formation
of a body with a different remit to the usual "advise the ADs" unless a
community discussion, charter, and discussion of how membership is selected
takes place.

We charter directorates now as advisory bodies to the ADs, and the ADs bear
the responsibility for the related decisions (taking or not taking the
advice as they see fit).  Since the ADs are selected by the NomCom, how
they derive that authority and its limits are well known.  What you
describe below departs from that, and unless it is made clear what
authority is being granted and how the community is being consulted, I
think it is outside of our process.

Since this amounts to the early stage of an appeal, I have recused myself
from further discussion within the IESG on this topic.

On the more technical topic of the appropriate status (Standards Track or
Informational) for this document, I will follow up as you suggest.

Ted

Hi Ted,

I=E2=80=99d like to understand your objection better. (Please don=E2=80=99=
t take this as disagreement. Or agreement, for that matter :-) )

How do you see things like =E2=80=9Cadvise=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9Ceducate=E2=80=
=9D and =E2=80=9Cinform=E2=80=9D as being a grant of authority beyond =
that of a directorate? Individual participants can and do those things =
regularly; so I=E2=80=99m confused as why doing it as part of a =
directorate would be different. Do you read those things as putting the =
directorate in the approval path? Or are you concerned such advice would =
be given greater weight because of the directorate?


Thanks!

Ben.

Given that the first suggestion here was that a document could not go
through last call until it had been reviewed by the group and John's
message seemed to indicate that its authority was not simply to advise an
AD, I inferred that the intent was to set up a group with an independent
authority to foster work or block documents.  That seems to me to require
discussion.  Even the EDU team, which has a remit to educate the community
is defined as a directorate serving the GEN area, and why this cannot be
not an area director led activity is not clear to me.

If we need something beyond that, okay, but I believe that requires
community discussion about how such groups are chartered, how their
membership is selected, and what the limits of their authority should be.

Ted Hardie

Have a look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/help/state/draft/iesg. You 
will see a state between "AD Evaluation" and "Last Call Requested" 
called "Expert Review". At an AD's discretion, before a document is sent 
for Last Call:

    An AD sometimes asks for an external review by an outside party as
    part of evaluating whether a document is ready for advancement.
    MIBs, for example, are reviewed by the "MIB doctors". Other types of
    reviews may also be requested (e.g., security, operations impact,
    etc.). Documents stay in this state until the review is complete and
    possibly until the issues raised in the review are addressed. See
    the "note" field for specific details on the nature of the review.

Moving a document out of Last Call back to AD Evaluation to send it for 
Expert Review, and blocking on that state until such review is complete, 
is and has been standard operating procedure for a long time. I see no 
independent authority being added here that overrides the discretion of 
the responsible AD.

> That seems to me to require discussion.

I disagree.

Howdy Pete,


Please re-read John's message, which includes this:

" It was described as a "directorate" because that
term and organizational arrangement is familiar in the IETF, but
it was quite clear (at least to many of us) that its mission was
to advise, inform, and perhaps even educate the community on
i18n issues, rather than merely advising the ART ADs and/or
designating people to perform reviews late in the Last Call
cycle. "

As I have said multiple times, I have no problem with an AD requesting a
review of a specific individual or set of individuals.  But John's message
is highlighting that this group is meant to be something different than the
usual directorate. That concerns me, especially if it is meant to have a
review power beyond "advising the ART ADs", which is what (ART)
directorates do.  Soliciting and receiving that advice is the state you're
pointing to, and but John has asserted this is not that.  Given that
assertion, I think the community ought to know and have a voice in what it
is instead.

I also am disappointed that the ART ADs did not simply ask the relevant
questions of the people that they would or will put on the Directorate, if
they are seeking the usual sort of advice.  There is no power in the advice
coming from a directorate rather than Individual 1 or 2. But that is a
timing question, not a process point.

regards,

Ted

Certainly to some small extent all of the directorates "advise, inform, 
and perhaps even educate the community", as each is willing to do early 
reviews, and some of the advisory groups (like the assorted "Doctors") 
will help a WG when directly solicited by the WG. The fact that those 
duties get a more formal mention in the mission of the i18n directorate 
doesn't give me pause. But what I was responding to was this part of 
your earlier message:

Like Ben, I see nothing in John's words (or any of the discussions of 
the directorate) that indicate any power to "block documents", let alone 
some other sort of special "independent authority" (beyond what we 
already have experience with). And that seems the real basis for your 
objection. I think perhaps you're tilting at a windmill.

John has asserted that it is not *only* that. But the only thing that it 
appears to be beyond that is a group that can, as John said, "advise, 
inform, and perhaps even educate the community".

If it had any additional authority, I would agree. It does not appear 
to, and therefore I do not.

There is no power, but often there is more organization. That seems like 
a legitimate reason for the pause.

As an ART AD, my expectation is that the directorates only power to =
block documents  would be to convince a (typically ART) AD to do so.

At the risk of putting words into Alexey=E2=80=99s mouth, I think this =
was an exceptional case due to the fact that the directorate creation =
was imminent, but perhaps not so imminent that it could finish it=E2=80=99=
s first review before the LC ended. It was Alexey=E2=80=99s choice to =
stop the LC, but he might have chosen the same even if he just asked an =
individual to do an expert review.

Thanks!

suggestion:

set up the advisory group and allow it to offer advice to the appropriate
AD.
This same advisory group can reasonably share its findings more generally,
thereby "educating...." the rest of the community. No power to block should
either explicitly or implicitly be inferred by the creation of the advisory
body.

Ben and others,

Sorry... had to be away from the list for a while.  I very much
appreciate your note and Pete's clarifications.  I want to add
some observations in the hope that they will be helpful.
Apologies for length -- I think it is important to understand
the context of the "directorate" idea, in large measure because
I believe that the IETF should be trying to solve problems
rather than looking for procedural reasons not to (or to avoid
important aspects of them).  Even while I'm concerned about
delays too, I think you and your ART AD colleagues are on the
right path there.

To go back to basics, when Patrik and I requested the BOF that
became I18NRP it was precisely because we saw an unusual and
problematic situation.  I suppose it could be described in
several different ways, but one version is that there seemed to
be agreement in principle in the IETF that lowering the barriers
to Internet use by people whose preferred languages and writing
systems are not English, or even Western European, was important
but that the IETF was (or had become) unable to advance work to
address that requirement.   This affected work directly
concerned with what has usually been called internationalization
(or i18n) including follow-in efforts for work developed by the
IDNABIS, PRECIS, and EAI WGs; extending other protocols to use
non-ASCII text or identifiers such as the work on certificates
in LAMPS; and maintenance of assorted registries with high
confidence that all relevant issues were being addressed.  While
we could usually get interest in creating new WGs for the first
type of work, they tended to run out of energy among people with
the right mix of expertise to get the work done before they
concluded.  The two most recent WGs devoted to the area, PRECIS
and EAI, had less than a handful of people actually doing the
work of developing and reviewing documents by the time they
wound down.  Getting good input and reviews for other work often
involved people calling in personal favors with friends and
colleagues.  The net result has been that work has been stalled
for several years.

In a way, this is not surprising.  While almost anyone with
familiarity with more than one language (even rather
closely-related ones) can understand that there are issues, true
experts in the field (actually the multiple fields that bear on
the issues) are very rare.  The subset of them who are also
familiar enough with the protocols that lie in the IETF's
mainstream is even smaller, to the point that anyone claiming
comprehensive expertise in both may well be suffering from a bad
case of not knowing what they don't know.  Picking on the people
who first made substantive comments on this thread, I don't
believe that any of Patrik, Asmus, or myself would claim that
our knowledge was so comprehensive that is wasn't necessary to
involve others (if I ever appear to do so, a forceful reminder
would we welcome).  Anyone who generates a proposal or analysis
and says that one particular other person has looked at it and
therefore it is ok is doing that person, as well as the
community, a serious disservice.

One thing that is clear is that we can't seek answers and
expertise from individuals.  We have to find it in diverse teams
who talk with each other and explore ideas and proposals with
each other.

Another problem is that the knowledge and skill sets needed to
address the issues are not exactly part of the mainstream of
IETF work.  We can't expect people who don't have the background
for the work to read in quickly.  That background is not part of
the education of the typical network engineer.  I suggest that
we might have similar problems if we embarked on work that had
significant interactions with power engineering or, for that
matter, with the proverbial rocket science.  We'd need to find
the few people within the normal IETF community who happened to
have the relevant background in addition to whatever interests,
skills, and background brought them to the IETF. Then we'd need
to convince them (and, in most cases, employers, etc.) to
participate actively in the work, presumably borrowing time
from, or sharing it with, time for rather than whatever brought
them to the IETF.   They would also have to learn things they
didn't know in spite of at least having the background to learn.
And, unless they were also expert in the relevant IETF protocol
work, we'd need to make them part of team efforts.

The BOF was created against that background to see if we could
find a way to get un-stuck.  It was aware of things that had
been tried or suggested in the past and that had not proven
helpful, including the IAB's decision to shut down its own I18n
Program because it couldn't make it useful.  I deliberately
stayed out of the discussion of what the "directorate" should be
called but, because of the team and educational requirements, it
was clear that it would be necessary to either invent an
entirely new beast or to have a slightly-odd directorate,
slightly-odd review team, slightly-odd working group, or even a
slightly-odd area.  The ART ADs decided on a directorate, which
was fine, although I hope and assume everyone understood (and
understands) the team and internal consultation models -- not to
form a hard position, but to be as sure as possible that the
issues were fully (or at least adequately) understood.   There
was never any implication of blocking work or somehow
functioning outside the system.   The IESG (and individual
Areas) remain in a position to listen carefully to any advice
they get and then go do something else (although there are at
least implicit requirements to explain a decision like that to
the community).  The strong suggestion for "reviews first, then
Last Call" are just a pragmatic notion for getting the advice
and perspective in front of the community (not just the IESG)
that the community needs to perform an evaluation.  Not only, as
Pete has pointed out, has it never been prohibited by the
procedures (and RFC 2028 doesn't even mention directorates), but
the basis between the distinction between two-week Last Calls
for WG products and four-week Last Calls for everything else is
precisely the notion that, in the former case, there has been
careful review, analysis, and reporting prior to the Last Call
by a systematically-organized and focused expert group within
the community.  We've never discussed whether outputs of more
diffuse "Area WGs" should get the same consideration, but I've
noticed that many ADs treat them somewhat differently than WGs
specifically organized and chartered around a topic.

So I don't see anything unusual going on here other than the ART
ADs trying to address issues with making progress and getting
effective reviews, insight, and opportunities for community
understanding of what is going on when prior attempts have
failed.  If Ted or others feel a need to make a case that there
should instead be a formally-chartered WG to examine and process
all proposed documents involving i18n issues, nothing prevents
them from making that argument... but I hope they would remember
not only that more narrowly-focused i18n-related WGs have come
very close to running out of steam and that the process of
chartering such a WG would add even more of the delay about
which they are presumably objecting.

best,
   john

But, with two qualifications, that is all that has ever been
proposed.  Those are:

(1) Because the root of the problems in this topic area is (or
appears to be) that the IETF community doesn't know nearly as
much about the topic as it would in a more ideal world and
because i18n work spans traditional and current Areas, I hope
the advice would be public rather than delivered in secret to
the AD and I would hope that the group would make an extra
effort to explain its reasoning in ways that the community (not
just the ADs) could understand and learn from.  I would hope
that the group members would want to do those things and that
the relevant AD(s) would insist on them.  (I don't think you
intended advice delivered in secret and kept that way, but your
suggestion could be read that way).  I think that is consistent
with your interpretation of "educating..." but can be see how
that could be interpreted differently, just as my initial
suggestion was.

(2) Not unlike our "Doctors" model (and consistent with the very
informal consultations about some LAMPS documents which I
believe were successful), I'd expect WGs and
document-developers, including those in other Areas, to want to
consult this group for advice and even help with text in
documents.   I'd hope that could be handled informally,
directly, and efficiently, with a focus on getting quality work
done.   I think it would be very unfortunate if the same sort of
procedure-lawyering that has gotten involved in this thread
would turn those efforts into requirements for a process that
would go something like:

   (OtherWG (or AD in other Area)): Dear ART ADs, would you
please ask the Directorate to review XYZ and help with text.
   (ART AD to OtherWG): Sure
   (ART AD to Directorate): Please see this request from
OtherWG, deal with it, and tell me.
   (Directorate to ART AD (because they are expected to advise
that AD and no one else): ART AD, we think ABCDE
   (ART AT to Other WG): Directorate says "we think ABCDE"

Possibly followed by additional iterations of this waste of the
time of ADs and Directorate members, especially if specific text
were asked for and/or suggested.

I think that would be seriously dumb and hope my example shows
that and why.  But it would be consistent with efforts to draw
narrow lines around supposed principles such as "the only thing
a directorate is allowed to do is to advise ADs in that area).

best,
   john

It is also an existing requirement.  See discussion and
references in draft-klensin-idna-rfc5891bis but that I-D doesn't
actually change anything other than clarifying the existing
rules.   So, whether (3) should be said here may be
controversial unless it is clearly stated as restating rules
established elsewhere (a reference to
draft-klensin-idna-rfc5891bis would help with that, but
certainly is not essential).  On the other hand, if you were to
say anything about registry policies that changed that rule or
encouraged a belief that anything authorized by the 5892 rules
was ok, that would not only clearly update several other
documents but be very controversial.

     john

p.s. addressing another issue, I don't believe we've ever made a
document Historic that is part of the record of evolution of a
Standards Track specification that is not itself considered
Historic.   Even if we had, I think it would be really
unfortunate in this case.

To a considerable extent, it is a cross between a working group,
a directorate, and a review team.   See my recent long note.

But this is where we go into either a rathole or a procedural
swamp that wastes time and frustrates some of the relevant
experts into deciding to spend their time in other ways.
Certainly, if they wanted to, the ART ADs could propose setting
up three (in the extreme case) separate groups, a directorate to
advise them on i18n strategy, a review team to evaluate both
in-area and out-of-area (but primarily out-of-area) documents
with i18n topics or impacts, and a WG to generate new i18n work
and process documents.  They could then consider the fairly
small number of experts available (both by knowledge and ability
and willingness to commit) to populate such groups and do i18n
work and respond by (at least mostly) appointing the same people
to the first two groups and encourage them to join/participate
in the third.   If only because of a shortage of volunteers,
they might even appoint the same chairs/coordinators for all
three.  Then they could figure out a way to make it clear which
hat people were wearing when they said something and be prepared
for complaints (or even appeals) when it wasn't sufficiently
clear.

Seems to me like a huge opportunity to waste time, spend energy
on procedures that would be better spent on substantive work,
and drive experts away from participation and the IETF and that
it would have absolutely no advantages other than impressive
ritual correctness.   YMMD.

> A directorate review cannot block a draft.

Of course not.  Nor can a review team review or, by itself, a WG
decision to not proceed with a draft.   An AD could take input
from any of them and use it to block a draft or could proceed
anyway (in the WG case by changing WG leadership, spinning up a
separate WG, or handle the draft as an individual submission).
Do you see enough difference there to justify quibbling over
what this is called or creating new and elaborate procedures?  I
don't but, again, YMMD.

>  As Ted pointed out, it would be up to the Area
> Director to take the decision on whether to "block" a draft.

Exactly.   And that decision would be subject to pushback from
other ADs in the Area, the full IESG, and to potential appeals.
We have lots of protection against abuse against unreasonable
blocking behavior... by anyone or any group.

it has been « by design » that Stringprep [RFC3454] and its 
replacement Precis[RFC8264] that there will be « requests » on how 
to do « the precis profile for my protocol » from the community. 
This happened for Stringprep quite a lot after the release of 
Stringprep. With Precis, we updated many of those to use Precis instead, 
but when the precis working group was closed, there was still many 
profiles-to-update left and obviously others will come.

Therefore, for Precis at least, there will be some 
community—i18ndirectorate exchanges similar to yang doctors.

First of all, if you go back and check the IDNA2008 documents
(not just 5892), you will find there is no such limitation.
Let me invent an example while hoping we can avoid a lengthy
argument about how likely it is.  The Unicode Stability rules
require that, one a code point is assigned and properties
assigned to it, some of those properties (not limited to, e.g.,
normalization) are just not ever going to be changed.   Should
they discover they have made a really serious mistake (unless
one believes that UTC is infallible, that is always possible,
however unlikely), the only option would be to assign a new code
point and properties to the abstract character and deprecate the
old code point.  Now, largely because we understood that such a
situation is unlikely, IDNA2008 contains no provision for
dealing with that sort of situation, so we would need to detect
it in the review process and, presumably, do so even though the
algorithm, which knows nothing about Unicode code point
deprecation, would not detect the situation.   And, assuming we
didn't want to allow both code points (the ultimate in
confusable characters), we would need to decide which one to
treat as an exception and update the exception list in 5892
accordingly.

So, no, not just those two sets of cases.

I think that characterization is incorrect or at least
misleading.  For example, IDNA2008 doesn't only say "do no case
mappings", it explicitly DISALLOWS upper case characters, etc. =20

No, UTS#46 also does a number of other things.  As two examples
that have stirred up controversy, it disallows a few characters
that IDNA2008 treats as PVALID (I might advise a registry to
permit those characters only with great care, if at all, but
that is different from disallowing them -- see comments about
registry restricts and behavior elsewhere in these threads).
And it allows a number of code points that IDNA2008 DISALLOWS,
primarily some of those in the "So" General Category, including
specifically emjoi.

I am not quite sure what Patrik had in mind with (3) but I think
there are options that would make "hard-forking Unicode"
hyperbolic at best.  In particular, while I don't believe IETF
has the resources to competently do so (an issue tied up with
the "directorate" and "inability to process documents" topics),
one could conceive of an IETF-specific normalization technique
and associated tables that could be references in lieu of the
Unicode ones.  That has been discussed several times.  It may
well be a bad idea even independent of the resource issue, but
it would stop a lot sort of a hard fork in Unicode, if only
because we would not be assigning new code points.

Yes.  Sure.  I hope I can ask whether you would like your

Curiously (and one reason for the above snarky comment), this
would take us back to a very early proposal for what became
IDNA2008.  In that proposal, rather than dividing code points
into "PVALID" and "DISALLOWED" (and a few special-case
categories), the main division would include "PROBABLY-YES" and
"PROBABLY-NO" categories that would be assigned to anything that
might be expected to change or that was uncertain for other
reasons (such as being from a script for which there were no
living active users) and impose additional restriction on  their
use.  That idea was pulled out of the spec largely at the urging
(and claims it would be confusing and was completely
unnecessary) but people from the Unicode Consortium.

See above.  Been there.  Of course we could revisit it, but that
would, at this point, be a very significant change in
IDNA2008.... and it would add another layer of difficulty to the
issue of getting documents reviewed.  I don't know whether it
would be more or less problematic than an IETF-specific
normalization technique or normalization profile.

I await your I-D with great interest, including how you expect
to handle emoji string-matching and making sure that the rules
about which combining and modifier sequences are allowed are
clear to registrants and zone administrators.   Or perhaps you
are proposing a profile of UTS#46, but I'd assume that would
also raise either forking problems or a review procedure as
least as complicated as that now called for in IDNA2008.

Out of curiosity, why?  There is nothing in the selection
process for IAB members that guarantees a supply of expertise in
these matters, even sufficient expertise to evaluate the
external consequences of such a decision.  Even if the current
IAB had that expertise, there is nothing in the Nomcom process
that guarantees for the future.  The IAB's shutting down of the
I18N Program came with an assertion (almost certainly true) that
the Program wasn't getting anything done and an implicit
assertion that the IAB didn't know how to fix that except by
creating new structures that would cover i18n issues (if any
progress has been made on that, it has not been discernable
outside the IAB).   So why do you think the IAB "must be
involved" or is even, anymore, relevant?

There are critical differences in membership among these three.  In the
case of a working group, all IETF working groups are open to all comers.
Generally, review teams are closed but have their work evaluated by an open
group,  and they may be self-organized as well as assigned by chairs or
ADs.    Directorates serve at the pleasure of specific ADs.  The
accountability models in each of these is quite different as a result of
the different membership models.

If I understand correctly from conversations with them since yesterday, the
ADs are constituting a directorate and associating that membership model
and that accountability model with the effort.  That's clear, and I'm fine
with it.  Continuing to say it is a cross between or among other models
makes me concerned again, though, that there is some mis-communication
going on.

While I generally like a good ritual (it's that background as an
anthropologist), I cannot agree that something that touches on the
accountability model is uselessly procedural. As I am sure you are aware,
some of the issues in this area have both large sums of money and
large-scale political implications at stake; being able to describe exactly
the scope of the power allotted to a group and from whom is one way of
avoiding expensive confusion later on.

It is likely that there are non-technical considerations at play in 
all in "internationalization".  It is not worth the effort to attempt 
to explain that to the IESG.  The non-trivial part of this effort is 
to create the conditions for it to be sustainable.  All it takes is 
one issue to cause an unwillingness to commit.

Instead of looking at this in terms of working group versus 
directorate, I would ask about the objective(s) being sought and then 
try to fit them into existing processes.  There would probably have 
to be some informal talks along the way to encourage universal acceptance.

Ted,

I'm not sure whether we disagree or not.   So let me try a
shorter comment that gets to the bottom line.

(1) This <whatever> is going to be required to advise the ART
ADs and, at their option, the IESG and/or the broader community,
on i18n strategic questions.  There is no requirement on anyone
to take their advice and the membership is presumably recruited,
appointed, and serves at the pleasure of the ART ADs.

(2) This <whatever> is, as Marc pointed out about PRECIS, going
to get requests for help with profiles and the like.  Some of
those requests may come from outside the ART Area.  Again, there
is no requirement on anyone to take the advice that results
although I would certainly hope that the community and the IESG
would look on departures from it (or a deliberate effort to
avoid asking) with some skepticism.   That is similar to, but at
least initially with far less nominal authority than or various
Doctor teams. For example, I'm not anticipating an
entry/question in Shepherd templates although that would clearly
be up to the IESG.

(3) I am imagine interactions between the <whatever> or its
members and the EDU team about needed and useful training
activities and how to staff them.  Such questions would
presumably be under the supervision of the ART ADs in addition
to the overall supervision of the EDU team by the IESG.   I
don't see anything different or problematic there and, again, no
one would be obligated to take the <whatever>'s advice.

(4) At their discretion, the ART ADs could cut the <whatever>
out of the loop entirely on a particular document.   I'd expect
at least some of the members of that group to respond badly,
either resigning, complaining loudly that the ART ADs were
deliberately excluding input and then providing that input as
individuals during IETF Last Call, or both, but I don't imagine
the existence of the <whatever) would create, e.g., any appeal
rights that do not exist today.

(5) Strategic advice that the <whatever> might offer the ART
ADs, or at their discretion, publicly to the community, might be
similar to (whether consistent or not) advice that might
ordinarily, at at its discretion, come from the IAB.  That is,
AFAICT, no different from other directorates (or for that
matter, individuals) offering strategic advice -- insofar as the
IAB advice should get priority over that of others, it should be
because of the quality of thinking and explanation it reflects,
not because it comes _From The IAB_ or the pixie dust that is
sprinkled over it every March.   More generally, not only are
the ART ADs (or the IESG more broadly) not required to
prioritize advice from the <whatever> over advice from the IAB
(or vice versa), they are not required to accept either and
neither the <whatever> nor the IAB have any specific rights in
that matter.

Now, if we had a huge supply of expertise, I could see some very
strong arguments, starting with just sharing the load, for
trying to parse those functions into separate bodies/ teams.
But we don't have such a supply -- if we did and things were
working well in traditional ways, there never would have been a
BOF, the non-decomposing character issue would have been
addressed a couple of years ago rather than being turned into an
IAB statement that arguably added to the confusion,
draft-faltstrom-unicode11 would not be trying to address four
versions of Unicode at once, and so on.  So, do you have a
suggestion -- preferably one that has not already been tried and
been abandoned and does not involve Command Action or
Proclamation -- for solving the problem of being unable to
progress i18n documents, especially those that are intrinsically
interrelated whether they say so or not?

     john

What John writes below seems to be a workable model.

In practical terms, associate the <whatever> with a single mailing list
where all advice is posted (and all requests for input can be made)
and you have the transparency and educational benefits that is so
relevant in an issue like i18n. (I18n is always a bit special because
it runs across other specifications while rarely being central - IDNA
being an obvious exception).

In my experience, with i18n, there is often a very definite "doing
it this way will not work for these cases" type of review result as
opposed to a "this is the one way to do it". In other words, there
is a definite interplay with whoever is writing a specification.

      <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Ted,

I'm not sure whether we disagree or not.   So let me try a
shorter comment that gets to the bottom line.

(1) This &lt;whatever&gt; is going to be required to advise the ART
ADs and, at their option, the IESG and/or the broader community,
on i18n strategic questions.  There is no requirement on anyone
to take their advice and the membership is presumably recruited,
appointed, and serves at the pleasure of the ART ADs.

(2) This &lt;whatever&gt; is, as Marc pointed out about PRECIS, going
to get requests for help with profiles and the like.  Some of
those requests may come from outside the ART Area.  Again, there
is no requirement on anyone to take the advice that results
although I would certainly hope that the community and the IESG
would look on departures from it (or a deliberate effort to
avoid asking) with some skepticism.   That is similar to, but at
least initially with far less nominal authority than or various
Doctor teams. For example, I'm not anticipating an
entry/question in Shepherd templates although that would clearly
be up to the IESG.

(3) I am imagine interactions between the &lt;whatever&gt; or its
members and the EDU team about needed and useful training
activities and how to staff them.  Such questions would
presumably be under the supervision of the ART ADs in addition
to the overall supervision of the EDU team by the IESG.   I
don't see anything different or problematic there and, again, no
one would be obligated to take the &lt;whatever&gt;'s advice.

(4) At their discretion, the ART ADs could cut the &lt;whatever&gt;
out of the loop entirely on a particular document.   I'd expect
at least some of the members of that group to respond badly,
either resigning, complaining loudly that the ART ADs were
deliberately excluding input and then providing that input as
individuals during IETF Last Call, or both, but I don't imagine
the existence of the &lt;whatever) would create, e.g., any appeal
rights that do not exist today.

(5) Strategic advice that the &lt;whatever&gt; might offer the ART
ADs, or at their discretion, publicly to the community, might be
similar to (whether consistent or not) advice that might
ordinarily, at at its discretion, come from the IAB.  That is,
AFAICT, no different from other directorates (or for that
matter, individuals) offering strategic advice -- insofar as the
IAB advice should get priority over that of others, it should be
because of the quality of thinking and explanation it reflects,
not because it comes _From The IAB_ or the pixie dust that is
sprinkled over it every March.   More generally, not only are
the ART ADs (or the IESG more broadly) not required to
prioritize advice from the &lt;whatever&gt; over advice from the IAB
(or vice versa), they are not required to accept either and
neither the &lt;whatever&gt; nor the IAB have any specific rights in
that matter.

Now, if we had a huge supply of expertise, I could see some very
strong arguments, starting with just sharing the load, for
trying to parse those functions into separate bodies/ teams.
But we don't have such a supply -- if we did and things were
working well in traditional ways, there never would have been a
BOF, the non-decomposing character issue would have been
addressed a couple of years ago rather than being turned into an
IAB statement that arguably added to the confusion,
draft-faltstrom-unicode11 would not be trying to address four
versions of Unicode at once, and so on.  So, do you have a
suggestion -- preferably one that has not already been tried and
been abandoned and does not involve Command Action or
Proclamation -- for solving the problem of being unable to
progress i18n documents, especially those that are intrinsically
interrelated whether they say so or not?

But this is where we go into either a rathole or a procedural
swamp that wastes time and frustrates some of the relevant
experts into deciding to spend their time in other ways.
Certainly, if they wanted to, the ART ADs could propose
setting up three (in the extreme case) separate groups, a
directorate to advise them on i18n strategy, a review team to
evaluate both in-area and out-of-area (but primarily
out-of-area) documents with i18n topics or impacts, and a WG
to generate new i18n work and process documents.  They could
then consider the fairly small number of experts available
(both by knowledge and ability and willingness to commit) to
populate such groups and do i18n work and respond by (at

they could figure out a way to make it clear which hat people

Seems to me like a huge opportunity to waste time, spend

Of course not.  Nor can a review team review or, by itself, a
WG decision to not proceed with a draft.   An AD could take
input from any of them and use it to block a draft or could
proceed anyway (in the WG case by changing WG leadership,
spinning up a separate WG, or handle the draft as an
individual submission). Do you see enough difference there to
justify quibbling over what this is called or creating new
and elaborate procedures?  I don't but, again, YMMD.

Exactly.   And that decision would be subject to pushback from

As I said before, the ADs have described this as a directorate and have
said that this will use that accountability model.  I think that's clear,
and I'm fine with it.  Presuming that this is a general understanding, I
see no reason for objecting and I do not plan to appeal.

I have two pieces of advice, neither of which is  a suggestion for a
different way forward.

The first is that a task not on this list (but which was on the longer list
you posted earlier) is among the most important in my opinion: develop new
expertise within the IETF, either by attraction or education.  If that is a
task given to this directorate, then I earnestly hope that it is close to
the top priority.   It's not a trivial task, and I sadly have no great
strategies to offer, but without it the long term prospect of effective
work by the IETF in this area is dim.

The second is that this list of tasks, even before that addition, is very
long for the pool of folks we have at hand.  Clear prioritization by the
ADs to the directorate would be very useful.  Without it, I suspect the
pace of requests for review will create a drum-beat to which the
directorate will march; that often happens to ADs with the bi-weekly
telechat, and it tends to happen by default to the groups on which they
rely.

As I said, not a suggestion for a different way; simply my observations on
this way.

regards,

Ted
(As an individual)

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; the discussion is accidentally left out of the loop.<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; The proposal sounds like a cross between a working group<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; and a directorate.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; To a considerable extent, it is a cross between a working<br>
&gt;&gt; group, a directorate, and a review team.=C2=A0 =C2=A0See my recent=
 long<br>
&gt;&gt; note.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt; There are critical differences in membership among these<br>
&gt; three.=C2=A0 In the case of a working group, all IETF working<br>
&gt; groups are open to all comers. Generally, review teams are<br>
&gt; closed but have their work evaluated by an open group,=C2=A0 and<br>
&gt; they may be self-organized as well as assigned by chairs or<br>
&gt; ADs.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Directorates serve at the pleasure of specific ADs.<=
br>
&gt; The accountability models in each of these is quite different<br>
&gt; as a result of the different membership models.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; If I understand correctly from conversations with them since<br>
&gt; yesterday, the ADs are constituting a directorate and<br>
&gt; associating that membership model and that accountability<br>
&gt; model with the effort.=C2=A0 That&#39;s clear, and I&#39;m fine with i=
t.<br>
&gt; Continuing to say it is a cross between or among other models<br>
&gt; makes me concerned again, though, that there is some<br>
&gt; mis-communication going on.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 I gather that directorate is not an exact fit if<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; it operates as a review team.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; But this is where we go into either a rathole or a procedural<br>
&gt;&gt; swamp that wastes time and frustrates some of the relevant<br>
&gt;&gt; experts into deciding to spend their time in other ways.<br>
&gt;&gt; Certainly, if they wanted to, the ART ADs could propose<br>
&gt;&gt; setting up three (in the extreme case) separate groups, a<br>
&gt;&gt; directorate to advise them on i18n strategy, a review team to<br>
&gt;&gt; evaluate both in-area and out-of-area (but primarily<br>
&gt;&gt; out-of-area) documents with i18n topics or impacts, and a WG<br>
&gt;&gt; to generate new i18n work and process documents.=C2=A0 They could<=
br>
&gt;&gt; then consider the fairly small number of experts available<br>
&gt;&gt; (both by knowledge and ability and willingness to commit) to<br>
&gt;&gt; populate such groups and do i18n work and respond by (at<br>
&gt;&gt; least mostly) appointing the same people to the first two<br>
&gt;&gt; groups and encourage them to join/participate in the third.<br>
&gt;&gt; If only because of a shortage of volunteers, they might even<br>
&gt;&gt; appoint the same chairs/coordinators for all three.=C2=A0 Then<br>
&gt;&gt; they could figure out a way to make it clear which hat people<br>
&gt;&gt; were wearing when they said something and be prepared for<br>
&gt;&gt; complaints (or even appeals) when it wasn&#39;t sufficiently<br>
&gt;&gt; clear.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; Seems to me like a huge opportunity to waste time, spend<br>
&gt;&gt; energy on procedures that would be better spent on<br>
&gt;&gt; substantive work, and drive experts away from participation<br>
&gt;&gt; and the IETF and that it would have absolutely no advantages<br>
&gt;&gt; other than impressive ritual correctness.=C2=A0 =C2=A0YMMD.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt; While I generally like a good ritual (it&#39;s that background as<br>
&gt; an anthropologist), I cannot agree that something that touches<br>
&gt; on the accountability model is uselessly procedural. As I am<br>
&gt; sure you are aware, some of the issues in this area have both<br>
&gt; large sums of money and large-scale political implications at<br>
&gt; stake; being able to describe exactly the scope of the power<br>
&gt; allotted to a group and from whom is one way of avoiding<br>
&gt; expensive confusion later on.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; A directorate review cannot block a draft.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; Of course not.=C2=A0 Nor can a review team review or, by itself, a=
<br>
&gt;&gt; WG decision to not proceed with a draft.=C2=A0 =C2=A0An AD could t=
ake<br>
&gt;&gt; input from any of them and use it to block a draft or could<br>
&gt;&gt; proceed anyway (in the WG case by changing WG leadership,<br>
&gt;&gt; spinning up a separate WG, or handle the draft as an<br>
&gt;&gt; individual submission). Do you see enough difference there to<br>
&gt;&gt; justify quibbling over what this is called or creating new<br>
&gt;&gt; and elaborate procedures?=C2=A0 I don&#39;t but, again, YMMD.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; &gt;=C2=A0 As Ted pointed out, it would be up to the Area<br>
&gt;&gt; &gt; Director to take the decision on whether to &quot;block&quot;=
 a draft.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; Exactly.=C2=A0 =C2=A0And that decision would be subject to pushbac=
k from<br>
&gt;&gt; other ADs in the Area, the full IESG, and to potential<br>
&gt;&gt; appeals. We have lots of protection against abuse against<br>
&gt;&gt; unreasonable blocking behavior... by anyone or any group.<br>
&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt; If we are clear that the model is that of a directorate and<br>
&gt;&gt; that the ADs<br>
&gt; are the ones responsible, I agree.=C2=A0 In an open working group,<br>
&gt; the mode by which one pushes back on a decision is very<br>
&gt; different, though, which is part of why I continue to be<br>

Larry,

The theory about registries in the current IDNA RFCs was to
impose a strong requirement that they be conservative including,
but not limited to, understanding the scripts they are
permitting.  That requirement is, I believe, consistent with
both what you are saying and what Asmus appears to be saying on
that subject.   The details about how to best accomplish that--
to convince them to actually do so-- seem to be a more
complicated matter. =20

As I've said in other, probably too-long, notes, most registries
who manage zones within an enterprise or other organization have
been fairly good about it; many of the second-level registries
and others whose business and operational model involves selling
names to unrelated parties have tended to adopt the least
restrictive policies they believe they can get away with.

Part of the problem with the IDNA RFCs is that the requirement
for registry conservatism and responsibility is too scattered
through several documents to come across as important as I think
we all believe it is.   draft-klensin-idna-rfc5891bis (now
expired, but waiting in the wings) was intended to address that
issue.  I haven't looked at the text for a while but strongly
suspect it does not identify and stress labels being
"re-enterable" and "retypable" as you suggest.   It should.  If
you don't mind taking a look at it, I'd appreciate recommended
text.   Or, if that isn't convenient, I'll try to remember to
say something when I next open the document.

thanks,
    john

Patrik,

I think your second point ("up to them" as long as it is "good"
--including sufficiently conservative) is the important one and
the one on which we can all agree.  But I still believe that,
with appropriate qualification, Larry is still correct.   The
very decision to move in the direction of IDNs meant that there
would be labels that would be much easier to read (and enter)
for some populations and other labels that would be easier for a
different population.  It seems to me that we just have to
accept that.  One think it implies is that, if a label is
written in a script one doesn't use frequently, "typing" may
require a character-picker.  Character-pickers are better than
nothing but no fun at all, especially if one does not easily
recognize the characters involved and differences between then
(and, to save Asmus pointing it out, complex scripts may
complicate both the recognition problem and the picking one).
We also need to remember, as Ted Hardie and others have reminded
us multiple times, that there are increasing moves toward voice
input, a trend that will de-emphasize typing and, most likely,
make the lives of those of us who can speak a given language
only with horrible accents much more "interesting".

However, to the extent to which one can sensibly use (including
simple reading of the characters) a label at all at all, I think
ability to re-enter it, to be assured that, insofar as possible,
there are no other labels in the zone that can easily be
mistaken for it, strings that are likely to be entered where it
is is intended, etc., are as important to a conservative
approach as things we've talked about more such as ensuring that
strings are well-formed for the script and that interactions
between RtoL characters and characters with neutral or LtoR
directionality don't cause, e.g., labels to appear in orders
that others might not predict.

I hope Larry has a better (and shorter) way to formulate that
than I do, which is why I'm hoping for text.

best,

I think we dive into the details here.

1. I think the ability (for example) copy and paste, respond to, click on=
, save in bookmarks etc is the most important global requirement

2. The ability to type, to enter via a keyboard, read on a bus, etc is se=
condary and have localization issues so very much different than (1)

My point was that because of this, I think retypable is very very very mu=
ch different than other, global, requirements, and the latter should not =
(I think) muddy the waters of the first requirement I list above.

Agreed.  However, I still have this strange idea (very clear in
the now-ancient RFC 1591) that domains are expected to serve a
community that if often not global, a concept that is consistent
with Larry's more recent comment about "target audience".
Within such an audience, the sort of criteria Larry is talking
about are almost certainly helpful... again, as long as they
don't interfere with the sort of global ones you identify above.
Larry's criteria also make a strong argument for a clear target
audience for a given zone or hierarchy.  That is a problem for
registries that want to be able to register labels from every
possible script even if they put some restrictions on those
labels, but we have known about that problem since the very
first ICANN IDN study effort if not earlier.

So I think there are global criteria (I like your list but
imagine that we could improve it somewhat with more thought)
that every label and FQDN should support and that there are
relatively more local criteria that have to be evaluated against
a target audience.   I don't know if "primary" or "secondary"
are quite the right category names, but I think we agree about
the principle.   It is also clear to me that, independent of
anything that is done globally, someone is more likely to get
themselves into trouble (or be tricked into it whether the
tricks are intentional or not) with labels in a script that they
find incomprehensible that with a more familiar one... and that
is something we better just get used to because, beyond some
point, technology won't help.

best,
   john

The ability to type in domainnames you see in ads is not that
interesting for the obvious reason that advertisers would not
choose to use domainnames that their targets cannot type in!

As to domainnames seen elsewhere than in ads... typing them in is still
not that interesting: there's always OCR (just point your smartphone at
it and click) and QR codes (same thing).

Besides, not concerning ourselves so much with the ability to type in a
domainname is a very good simplification to make.  In general most of us
cannot type in more than a very small number of scripts -- the ability
to type in any domainname is basically an oxymoron.  We couldn't even
require that users only ever see A-labels, which most users (perhaps!)
could type in, because that would utterly defeat the whole point of
IDNA.

I am quite certain that they are, or if not, will be.  They spend lots
of money, and they hate to spend it badly.  They even spend lots of
money on how to spend lots more money well.

Nico,

While I tend to agree with Vint -- not because of smartness or
the lack thereof but because many advertisers have, empirically,
found it much cheaper to register a lot of domain names than to
spend time and energy trying to protect trademarks, worrying
about competitors trying to capture or squat on names, etc.--
this is not a problem we need to solve.  There are many reasons
why we should encourage both registrants and registries to be
conservative, whether the advice we give about conservatism
involves only the global criteria that Patrik believes (and I
agree) should be primary or we expand that advice to include
some or all of the considerations Larry, Asmus, and I have been
advocating.  If the labels that are actually registered (whether
actively used or not) are a subset of what our conservative
guidance would suggest, that is great and no harm has been done.

On the other hand, we've seen names registered, and registered
as SLDs as well as further down in the tree, that clearly won't
meet even global criteria for conservatism and responsible
behavior. much less guidance focused on relevant target
communities.  Some of those registrations have clearly been the
result of a shortage of thinking or an excess of cleverness or
cuteness, not just the result of various forms of malice.  There
has been a lot of the latter too and we can at least hope that
more conservative registry policies would stop some of it.   So
I don't think an argument that we don't need to say something
(and say it very clearly) about the importance of conservative
behavior holds up ... and I hope you were not intending to make
that argument.

best,
    john

To "typable", you might add "processable" and "renderable", not to 
mention "human-readable". (Where multiple languages/scripts are 
supported, "typable" should obviously mean"typable by a native user of 
that language/script").

Allowing certain specialized or historical forms that are not part of 
the modern orthographic repertoire would allow characters that are 
unlikely to be supported by keyboards (or even fonts). (Some such 
characters are effectively not recognized by modern readers, or simply 
mistaken for more familiar characters).

Allowing "do not use" sequences renders labels not processable by 
processes that do expect data to not contain effectively deprecated 
content.  (They are also structurally unsound, see next).

Allowing structurally unsound sequences for any of the fifteen or so 
complex scripts risks data not being renderable, as neither layout 
systems or fonts are (universally) expecting to deal with them (or do it 
differently in unpredictable ways). T

Allowing arbitrary sequences can lead to strings that human readers are 
not prepared to recognize because they violate deep-seated assumption of 
what is possible. Linearly progressing, non-connecting scripts tend to 
not have that issue; ASCII certainly doesn't, but already with Latin 
combining marks you enter territory where fully random sequences can't 
be supported.

Then you get into the issue of substitutable code points/labels that 
should not be simultaneously allowed (aka "blocked" variants) -- the 
other type of variants ("allocatable") is more of a usability issue, 
which for some scripts can be critical but is not strictly required 
under the heading of "Conservatism".

Allowing two labels that even reasonably observant readers will 
substitute for one another, because different abstract text elements in 
Unicode may have identical (or very near identical) appearance when 
presented in typical user interfaces, adds no value, only security 
risks. (Yes this is a subset of the wider issue of labels that are 
merely similar, but that's not an excuse to take well-known an 
unambiguous cases off the table at the policy level).

Spelling out these considerations would go beyond what is currently 
scattered through the IDNA RFCs, but would be a first step to putting 
the Registries on notice what their responsibility actually entails.

Now that we have the Root Zone LGR giving practical examples (and the 
emerging reference LGRs doing the same for the second level), there's 
less excuse for registries not doing the right thing - good approximate 
solutions exist.

A longer reply to this in my prev. note, but I emphatically disagree.

If you are dealing with a foreign language / script to you, then you 
will be reduced to selecting or perhaps copying; but for your own 
language and script (and for too many of the modern scripts) there are 
many possible sequences that so deeply violate the reader's expectation 
(or the systems' expectations) that they can effectively not be 
understood (read and remembered) by the users or displayed or processed 
by the system (or not reliably so across systems).

For many scripts, allowing too much will make labels every bit as 
unusable as allowing too little.

Your item (1) addresses much more the level of implementation of the 
user presentation of IDNs, and less what should be allowed in IDN 
labels. Apples and oranges, it seems to me.

Item 1 is what the UASG should be concerned with, Item 2 is what IDNA 
should be concerned with (at the guidance level).

I think we dive into the details here.

1. I think the ability (for example) copy and paste, respond to, click on, save in bookmarks etc is the most important global requirement

It may not be advertisers that use such 'broken' labels. All sorts of 
mischief can be created with stuff that your system won't let you type 
(even if you are a native user on a "native" system).

But what has that got to do with whether advertisers are smart enough to
use domainnames in advertisements that users can type in?

Good.  Not having to solve it is a big win.

Indeed.  I've long been saying that registries should produce policies
appropriate to their domains.

Yes.  Registrants might not agree, but they can always negotiate with
the registries or pick a registry that works for them.

I only said that we shouldn't have to address the side-of-the-bus
problem.  You seem to have read into that more than I wrote, or perhaps
you're remembering things I've said before?

Registry policies that apply all the way down the tree would be an
innovation.  I'm not sure how I feel about that yet.  I do recognize the
problems with confusables, but as I've said before, that feels like a
losing battle.

Anyone who wants their target audience to be able to type in a label
will pick labels wisely.

Anyone who does not care whether their target audience is able to type
in a label will be free to construct more interesting labels.

I see nothing wrong with that.

Of course, we weren't discussing malicious use of confusables.  That's
another story.

Look at RFC1736 , Functional Recommendations for Internet Resource =
Locators=E2=80=9D, section 4.6: Locators are human transcribable

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1736#section-4.6

   Users can copy Internet locators from one medium to another (such as

   voice to paper, or paper to keyboard) without loss or corruption of

   information.  This process is not required to be comfortable.

Changing Internet locators to allow for Internationalization need not =
necessarily eliminate this valuable property.

I think we dive into the details here.

1. I think the ability (for example) copy and paste, respond to, click =
on, save in bookmarks etc is the most important global requirement
=20
2. The ability to type, to enter via a keyboard, read on a bus, etc is =
secondary and have localization issues so very much different than (1)

A longer reply to this in my prev. note, but I emphatically disagree.

If you are dealing with a foreign language / script to you, then you =
will be reduced to selecting or perhaps copying; but for your own =
language and script (and for too many of the modern scripts) there are =
many possible sequences that so deeply violate the reader's expectation =
(or the systems' expectations) that they can effectively not be =
understood (read and remembered) by the users or displayed or processed =
by the system (or not reliably so across systems).

For many scripts, allowing too much will make labels every bit as =
unusable as allowing too little.

=20
=20
My point was that because of this, I think retypable is very very very =
much different than other, global, requirements, and the latter should =
not (I think) muddy the waters of the first requirement I list above.

Your item (1) addresses much more the level of implementation of the =
user presentation of IDNs, and less what should be allowed in IDN =
labels. Apples and oranges, it seems to me.

Item 1 is what the UASG should be concerned with, Item 2 is what IDNA =
should be concerned with (at the guidance level).
