[idn] Reminder: Documenting proposals is in order

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <Harald@Alvestrand.no>]

I'd just like to remind group members that the IDN group has 2 deliverables:

1. An Informational RFC specifying the requirements for providing 
Internationalized access to domain names. The document should provide 
guidance for development solutions to this problem, taking localized (e.g. 
writing order) and related operational issues into consideration.

2. An Informational RFC or RFC's documenting the various proposals and 
Implementations of Internationalization (i18n) of Domain Names. The 
document(s) should also provide a technical evaluation of the proposals by 
the Working Group.

We have a reasonable start on the first one, but are missing documentation 
for a lot of proposals and implementations that we are charged to evaluate 
in the second, including *all* those currently being pushed by various 
pre-standards registration initiatives. (CIDNUC and Just-Send-UTF-8 are the 
best-documented ones, I think; neither is being aggressively pursued in the 
marketplace, afaik).

You all know how to fix this; the address is internet-drafts@ietf.org, and 
the submission guidelines are on the IETF website.
The best form of internet-draft filename is, I think,
draft-<author>-idn-<proposal id>-00.txt

Let's get documentation!

Regards,

                       Harald T. Alvestrand
