[vip] Fwd: Notice of publication: Integrated Issues Report in the IDN Variant Project

[Steve Sheng]

Dear Patrik, 

The version that we sent earlier to the vip list was a preliminary version of the report. The goal is to inform interested community members of our progress and provide an early opportunity for feedback. Several community members (including you) have provided comments. We went through these comments, along with comments from the integrated team, one by one and addressed them in the latest document we published yesterday. 

Now the document is officially published, there is more opportunity to provide feedback through the public comment box at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-23dec11-en.htm

Thanks again for your previous comments, we invite you and other interested community members to continue provide comments to improve this report.  

Kind regards, 
Steve

I am confused.

On Dec 6 the draft report was sent to this mailing list.

A number of comments where sent in.

Then today I saw an announcement on an external mailing list (Unicode) that a public comment period have started on some version of the document.

Questions:

Are these the same documents?

(I admit I have not done a detailed comparison, but I do not have energy comparing a word document with a PDF at this time of the day...)

If so, why did not the public comment period start on Dec 6?

If not, why was not a new version sent to this list that was approved before it was opened for public comments?

I do have more questions on the process here, but what they are will depend on the responses on these two questions.
