Just adding 'URGENT' to the subject line. On 6/29/11 1:56 AM, "Andrew Sullivan" <ajs@anvilwalrusden.com> wrote:
Dear colleagues,
I'm replying to myself in order to change the subject: line, which I foolishly failed to do before. But given the deadline for last call comments (on Thursday), I thought it important to raise this issue to as high a prominence as possible.
Best,
A

Dear Dr Hussain, colleagues,

I am not sure if the following message sent by Andrew got the traction it needed. I would request the members of the Arabic script team to look at the document urgently, especially Section 7 (and the definition of variants in Section 7.2) and comment, as the document is in the last call. There are a few categories of variants in Arabic script which are missing from the suggested list in Section 7.2 (ref. my earlier mail on variants in Arabic).
Thanks very much. Let me also urge again team members to look at that document, especially section 7. Feedback can be sent to the IETF apps-discuss@ietf.org WG mailing list. You need to be a member of the list to post; but if you don't want to join, feel free to send your notes to me, with an explicit request to forward them to the relevant IETF list as part of the last call, and I'll forward your remarks.
For those not familiar with the IETF, note that in the IETF, people normally post as themselves and not as a representative of any constituency, organization, or company. In addition, even quite informal remarks are welcome. But comments that are received after publication are impossible to address: a "quick fix" to an RFC, once published, is mostly impossible except for errata. The RFC series is archival, and so once something is published a new RFC needs to be written to take its place (if an update is needed). So get those comments in soon, if they're coming.
The last call for this draft ends 2011-06-30.
