I dont really think I have mis-characterized the group. I am pretty sure we have an agreement on step 1, ie, TC-SC is a problem. So lets put it aside, move on and stop discussing about why TC-SC is a problem. It aint useful.
However, I also agree with you that the question if TC-SC can be solve within IDN WG or IETF is a valid one, one of the first question we should ask in step 2. -James Seng ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick H Wesson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "James Seng/Personal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "liana Ye" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Maynard Kang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 12:00 PM Subject: Re: Layer 2 and "idn identities" (was: Re: [idn] what are the IDN identifiers?) > > James, > > On Fri, 7 Dec 2001, James Seng/Personal wrote: > > [snip] > > > > > For TC-SC, I think the group is pretty much convienced of the problem > > and something we should at least attempts to solve.
