nope. The comment from Patrick and others was to not use idns in the list
name. idn-ietf is neutral (it was my suggestion as co-chair). There was no
comments (that I've heard of) regarding the hosting.
While I am not suggesting that
anyone has or intends to behave in any way improperly, I think that
it would be in everyone's best interest to find a neutral party to
host the list.
I'm really surprised about this comment. What is the problem about hosting
a mailing list? Why are we slipping the discussion on where to host a
mailing list. I don't follow you.
Regards, Marc.
Eg, a more suspicous mind than mine might find it odd that my
presentation of an alternative mechanism is only available at the
proposed WG's web page as a block of base64 encoded gzipped text.
I happen to believe that this was an honest mistake by someone
dealing with an unfamiliar document format, but given that the iDNS
proposal already has backing from venture capitalists and given how
much fun we've already had with the financial and political aspects
of US-ASCII domain names, I'd really rather avoid even the
appearance of a conflict of interest.
