Will discuss with Rinalia and get something drafted. My initial thoughts are: 1. Thank the team for incorporating some of our suggestions 2. Highlight the finding that more policy work may need to be done beyond this project, and call for the community to start the work 3. Highlight the finding that parts of the IDN Variant TLD decisions remain in the poilcy realm (i.e. not just technical) 4. Escalate the issue of lack of review process for the proposed mechanism 5. Reiterate the need for policy oversight & the participation of affected linguistic communities in the process Meanwhile, if anyone has any thoughts, please send them through here.
