It is incredibly inappropriate to blame this on WG chairs. There have 
been many, many other people in the WG who have stated the same 
opinion. If you object to this, you can follow the IETF rules for 
appealing. Hint: that does not involve spamming the mailing list.

Why do you feel that is relevant in a standards body?

>4. Chinese Internet community object IDNA ONLY solution.

The two name registries on this mailing list do not represent the 
Chinese Internet community any more than Verisign represents the US 
community. Many of us know know lots of other Chinese people, and it 
is safe to say that the extreme rudeness and inability to work with 
others is not representative of the Chinese Internet community.

More importantly, ISO has not started it either.
