[idn] statements from wg co-chairs

[Marc Blanchet <Marc.Blanchet@viagenie.qc.ca>]

Chairs have reviewed the current state of the wg. We intend to focus wg 
efforts on completing the on-going work quickly.

James & Marc.

===========================================================================
============
Consistent with this focus, we are taking the following actions:

=============================
draft-ietf-idn-hangeulchar-xx.txt

This document is an attempt to modify normalisation rules of the Unicode 
standard.
The chairs with AD advice have concluded that this work is not
within IETF competence and should be conducted in other appropriate 
organisations.

=============================
draft-ietf-idn-tsconv-xx.txt

The chairs with AD advice have concluded that all parts of this work is 
outside
of the scope of idn wg.  The parts of this work that fall within IETF scope
should be proposed for inclusion in other ietf efforts (eg. irnss).

===========================================================================
============
We are also proposing the following:

=============================
draft-ietf-idn-lsb-ace-xx.txt

The chairs see no consensus in the working group to add this work in the
architecture.  The chairs are proposing to drop this document from the
document pool.

=============================
draft-ietf-idn-requirements-xx.txt

The chairs with AD advice have concluded that the requirements are
outdated, are no longer in sync with working group activities and
have some technical errors.  Rather than attempt to fix the document,
we propose to drop the document in its current form and replace with a new
short document that captures the approach the idn wg is taking and what we 
have
learned about the problems we are solving. We expect this work being 
completed
in a short time (i.e. weeks).
