Portzamparc Moderator [email protected] Dear all, > > Further to the IESG announcement of their approval of the IDNA2008 > documents, I intend to appeal that decision. I will most probably be > supported by others in so doing. This appeal will be a special appeal and > will be carefully documented. The intent here is not to oppose the > documents, which are in fact excellent and represent a major and positive > step ahead for the Internet, but rather to oppose their publication without > further work being carried out beforehand. To use IDNA2008, which is the > Internet protocol for supporting IDNs, without the proper IDNA2010 work > firstly being completed regarding its support on the user side, may create > undesired confusion, high security risks and, therefore, an inappropriate > and undesirable image of IDNA. > > This is particularly the case of the ICANN Fast Track project (limited to a > discriminated set of IDNccTLDs) and of the rather similar ATLARGE My Track > project (open to every IDNg/ccTLD project). As one of the initiators of the > My Track project, I will do my best to delay it until things have been > clarified. None of the multiple contact attempts with the ICANN BoD Members, > IDNs related staff, and key persons in their IDN area has resulted in > response. By their silence they are endangering the stability of the > Internet. They must be officially warned by the IAB, elucidated by the IESG, > and assisted by documents from the IETF and IUCG. > > Here is my projected calendar: > > 1. to document the problem from the document that I sent to the IESG as the > Chair of Project.FRA. It explained explaining what actions the ICANN's > political precipitation obliges on us. > 2. to document how this kind of major problem (a complete change in the > understanding of the Internet and domain name system architectures is > involved) could be addressed. > 3. to appeal the decision before March 7, and to propose the most limited > number of necessary changes in order to make it understood that this > publication is excellent but that it MUST be considered as premature to use > it. > > I do not want this appeal to be considered as community dissent. Therefore, > I will not discuss it on the [email protected] mailing list. I will be > attentive, however, as to what may be discussed on this list, which is > destined to work on an IDNA2010 BCP as to the different ways to implement > and deploy IDNA2008 as a user, an ISP, a zone manager, etc.). > > I hereby note that prior to the publishing of this intent of appeal, I have > fully respected the appeal procedure: I let the WG/IDNABIS members know (I > am banned from that WG) and I dialoged with, or reported to, the WG/IDNABIS > Chair, the Application Area AD in charge, and the IETF Chair. This appeal is > personal and does not involve any of my other IETF related duties and > obligations. > > Best regards > JFC Morfin > Internet User. > > _______________________________________________ > iucg mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/iucg >
