1. Is this the right time to start working on Internet Drafts
leading up to new version(s) of the IDNA RFC(s)? If not, when?
That's your call. There is certainly no one stopping you (but, as far
as I can tell, very few people encouraging you either).
2. Am I stepping on someone's toes by creating nameprep.org? Feel
free to respond publicly or privately.
You are only stepping on toes if you try to pass it off as something
official, and so far you haven't at all. It certainly looks like a
useful service to me.
4. Do we need to revive the IDN WG?
No. Individuals can submit proposals to update or replace standards
without a WG. The IESG will probably expect proof that there is
community support for a change to an existing, widely-deployed
standard. If you can show that and write a good revision to the
standard, no WG is needed. In the current case, trying to start up
the IDN WG is probably a bad idea, given the history of the previous
WG.
