[council] Re: Regarding issues report on IDNs from PAF

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I agree that it would be a useful objective for the GNSO Council to  
coordinate the explanation of the political issues and the requirements.

I do, however, continue to think that this should not be done in  
isolation by the council as it needs to take into account a larger  
context.  I also do not believe that it should be done in a technical  
vacuum, but should be done together with the technical experts, from  
both the IAB, IETF and elsewhere.

thanks
a.
