Here are my comments.

- There is no target for 'Requirements' in milestone.  I think it
  should be.

- I think RFC target in milestone should be identical to action items.
  Is 'architecture' in milestone denoting item 2?  Is 'protocol'
  denoting item 3?  Please clarify relation between terms in milestone
  and action items.

- Nameprep is now divided into framework (stringprep) and profile
  (nameprep).  Is stringprep scope of this WG?  I think it is
  eventually yes at this moment but I'm not sure, so please clarify
  position of stringprep.

Best regards,
