There are a few reasons for us setting up this new list:
- The IDN WG mailing list is for discussing IETF protocols, and IDN registration policy is not protocol-based
- The mailing list at ICANN is closed and is not discussed on the ICANN site
- The new list can be used to help give people background information before the IDNConnect event
Note that this new list is for discussing non-protocol issues with IDN registration; protocol-oriented discussions (such as how to handle registry-registrar interactions and whois) should happen on the appropriate IETF mailing lists.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
