[REGYCON] FW: [council] IDN mailing list

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Well, i guess if the chair of the exWG objects, then we probably  
should not try to use the old list.  and should explore the idea of  
creating a new list on the basis that was discussed.  Of course if  
the council still has issues with the creation of any list for IDN  
then we should not create a list.  We probably need to decide whether  
there is council support for creating an idn-discuss list.  During  
the last conversation there were some issues brought up and I am not  
sure whether the discussion so far has addressed those issues.
