[IDN-WG] [At-Large] The New gTLD Progam in CLASS IN is no more a swindle

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Two questions on this.

- wouldn't he be looking for support of these new Classes in addition to Class IN, not instead?
- doesn't this break because DNS Alias records pay no attention to Class and therefore aliased names would collide despite being in different classes?
