The question itself may be problematic I think. And is one which the ccTLDs
themselves are avoiding. I do not think specifying "at most 1 IDN in 1 Script
per 3166" is a good idea. It may appear that we have not heard some of the
sensitivities and concerns from the local communities. i.e. I worry it would
not be seen as supportive for the fast track (which I think is the original
intent).
I feel that simply indicating that we are supportive of a fast track concept
given that it is a more contained "experimental" process would be more
appropriate than specifying 1-IDN-1-cc.
