Re: [idn] Prohibit CDN code points
Hi ! Paul & all :
If we switch-off the code point of ideograph temporary
then the others can go forward and let CDN society has enough time to
discuss and to solve the TC/SC problems to switch-on quickly . The delay
influence the current gTLD registration will be minimum. If the ML(.com)
are opened it can help to supply more path to solve language conflictions in
different country/region , so the solution can be get and selected if more
path existed.
