Hi Danny
Is there any mileage in the GA lobbying Verisign (and perhaps ICANN -
albeit, as I understand, not within their remit) on behalf of the hangul IDN
user community to reinstate the services required?
Perhaps, as a gesture of goodwill, Verisign could reinstate said services.
Looking at where we are today in the IDN discussions, I think it is bad
form if users have adopted an IDN service only to then find the service
revoked or partially unavailable. Not that I can truly understand the
technicalities of it all but I do think this is just the sort of thing the
GA should establish a consensus opinion on and project it to the various
concerned parties.
Best
Debbie
