RE: [idn] NSI Multilingual Testbed Information (fwd)

["Hollenbeck, Scott" <shollenb@netsol.com>]

If building a test bed to start getting real-world experience with
technologies proposed in this WG is out of line, we're guilty.  Sadly, the
message Rick paraphrased left out technical detail that the members of this
mailing list were bound to see as significant omissions that obviously have
people misunderstanding our intentions.  For example, the "certification"
process is intended to ensure that a registrar's client software is capable
of doing accurate RACE encoding for a list of known IDN labels as part of
the domain name registration process.

We fully intend to keep the test bed in synch with this group's efforts.  If
something other than RACE encoding is what eventually becomes a proposed
standard, we'll change the test bed to keep up.  Truth is, we think it's
important to this group's efforts to understand how well the technologies
we're discussing will work in the real world, and that's what we're trying
to get ahead of.

is it just me, or does anybody else get the impression that NSI is 
way, way, way out of line here?
