Hi Sophia, as it is a bit late in Cary's time zone I thought I would offer the answer to your first question.

Cary,
Thanks for the update. Could I kindly ask for your confirmation on these two matters:
1) I understand that the President Committe is fairly new, may I ask who is represented on the committee? 2) I was also not aware that John was involved in the 'testbed' scenario until I saw the attachment you sent, based on some of his responses in the Council meeting. Would he be working on that with you.
Many thanks ahead, Sophia

The President's Committee was planning to meet earlier this week but was rescheduled to 8 Feb. In the interim, the version of the IAB "nextsteps" draft to which John Klensin and Patrik Fältström made reference during our last meeting will be released. I will post notice of its availability and suggest that the Council members review it with a thought to its discussion at our own next meeting (hereby proposing a corresponding agenda item). Since the President's Committee will be meeting two days thereafter, we may wish to use the opportunity to communicate our own recent thinking.
Also, at the two most recent Council meetings reference was made to the development of an experiment for determining suitable means for the support of IDN on the top-level of the DNS. Upon listening to the MP3s of those meetings I note that we failed to make an adequate distinction between the IAB draft and the outline of the experiment prepared directly by John. I have therefore (with John's permission) attached a copy of the latter document to the present message.
