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

[Patrik Fältström]

All,

First, happy holidays on you all!

The reason I ask is that the comments on the list that people being members of the vip mailing list was more or less sent without any comments. Also, no new version with for example change bars was sent back. Now a new document is in the open comment period, without any announcement what so ever to the vip list. In a different format so that making a version with change bars is more or less impossible. And the version on the open comment period is still not sent to this list for comments.

I am just confused over how the core team is thinking the rest of us on the vip list should be able to help?

Maybe that can be clarified?

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.
