I actually think the wording is correct, and because the avoidance (but not necessarily elimination) of confusion is the reason that we have reopened this issue. IDNs are crucially important, but what we are saying with this motion is that we need to make sure users can rely on the Internet.
But I have no problem softening it if there is a general wish to do so.

I agree with the course of action.
I, however, would substitute the phrase "of paramount importance" with something more moderate, like "of substantial importance" or "of great importance".
My rationale comes from balancing the equities between the real possibility of confusion versus the opening up of the DNS to a multiplicity of languages and peoples (millions of new end-users), and conclude that deployment of IDNs is, from the end-user's perspective, possibly as important as the confusion issue.
