Could we please have a single clear statement of what exactly this poll
is measuring?
Many of us think that moving at this point would be premature. We think
that IDNA was rammed through the WG without adequate discussion. We find
it worrisome that the centerpiece of the IDNA ``design philosophy'' is a
statement about DNS servers that has turned out to be completely wrong.
We want to see a careful cost-benefit analysis, with all facts verified,
before we go screwing around with several critical Internet protocols.
And, of course, we want to know the effects of this patent.
How exactly are we supposed to respond to this poll?
