Re: [NA-Discuss] [At-Large] ICANN IDN Laboratory test results online
Could somebody describe a possible 'failure scenario' for the tests? Siavash
IANAE (I am not an expert), but what about, for instance, some code that breaks somewhere because of the hyphen ("-") in the TLD? We had (and some still exists) code that broke because of the length of the TLD, that was assumed to be max. 3, with the exception of .arpa.
Hypothetically, you're right, any of those might have happened if someone deliberately put anti-IDN code into the DNS software. But in reality, I'm sure the people who maintain the small set of packages they checked had already made sure they worked. It was a non-event. Where do we stand on the "too similar" issue?

It has now been six months since the formal release of the LSE Review. One can't help but get the impression that that the Board doesn't have the "gumption" to tackle Reform in a forthright manner. Will the Board ever display some leadership? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!
