Gentlemen,

the IUCG accompanies the iucg@ietf.org non-WG mailing list. Its 
purpose is to permit Internet, and IETF users to contribute to the 
architecture, technology and practice of their own multitechnology 
Integrated and Intelligent Use (IUse) of the whole digital ecosystem. 
In the considered area it therefore explores the architectural 
support of polynymy (strict synonymy in a different context) and 
orthotypography (typographical syntax of a language) that IDNA2008 
does not consider but locates in the user part of the presentation 
layer support (RFC 5895).

We plan having a debate on the VIP report in the coming weeks and 
meet the Jan 31, 2012 deadline. We could not engage into such a 
debate prior to the publication of the report (however some of our 
members participated to the WG/VIP discussion) because we have 
difficulties in understanding how it fits in our targets.

Our priority is: how to implement IDNA2008 (i.e. the RFC set from RFC 
5890 to RFC 5895) on the user side (what we called the IDNA2010 
project) and to organize its mutual interadministration (what we 
called the IDNA2012 project).

1. The ICANN charter of the work 
(http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/idn-variant-tlds-delegation-20apr11-en.pdf):

- does not quote IDNA as architecture, only as an area of expertise 
for DNS experts.
- does not refer to IDNA2008 or to any other RFC. The only RFC which 
is quoted (in a note) is the RFC 3743 to define a possible meaning of 
the key word "variant".

We therefore had to wait for the completion of the 
http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/idn-vip-integrated-issues-23dec11-en.pdf 
draft to review a complete and homogeneous set of positions.

2. When we first discovered that document we decided to work out first:

- an IUWW version (i.e. a working wiki). This is underway.
- the missing executive summary which is necessary for a constructive 
debate over a document of 108 pages plus substantial annexes.
- a general "Internet+" framework integrating the IAB/IETF end to end 
network now finalized capacities within the fringe to fringe 
Intelligent Use solutions we need and expect.

This post-IDNA2008 "Internet+" people centric (cf. WSIS  [World 
Summit on Information Society] unanimous resolution) framework has to 
be in continuity with the RFC 1287, RFC 1958 and RFC 3439, respecting 
the RFC 3935, attentive to RFC 3869, following the ICANN-ICP-3 
requirements, in phase with the responses we obtained from the IESG 
and IAB and able to positively take advantage from the VIP work, the 
ICANN Affirmation of Commitment with the US Government (and hopefully 
all the other similar affirmation jointly signed with GAC Members) as 
well as other contributions received or expected from other 
multilinguistics (as the discipline of the linguistic coexistence) 
and digital architecture oriented agoras.

Regards.

JFC Morfin

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title           : Internet+ Architectural Framework
	Author(s)       : Jean-Francois C. Morfin
	Filename        : draft-iucg-internet-plus-05.txt

	Date            : 2012-01-25

    This memo acknowledges the change of scale in network and people
    centricities within the whole digital ecosystem. It shows how the
    Internet technology can sustain the resulting network and societal
    effects in scaling itself from the end to end Internet to a fringe to
    fringe fully optional and compatible Internet+ which strictly
    conforms to the Internet architecture and RFCs. It introduces the
    Internet+ framework and the IUTF to document it. It explores a
    transition that can be seamlessly immediate and will probably start a
    complete review and extension of the Internet schemas towards the
    semiotic Internet (Intersem).

I will answer this for the records, as you will probably not consider it :-).

who are this "ourselves". It should be the users.

>Other Browsers

Users do not mind the browser they use and expect to reach the same 
host with the same entry. Otherwise this is Foxnet. I.E. you say:

Is that not some sort of balkanization if this is imposed on every users?

The browser should be IDNA neutral.  What you discuss is a user IDNA 
layer. You may want to add it to Firefox as an extention/plugin: 
actually it should be  like an OPES  subject to a presentation layer standard.

The way I read IDNA2008, this OPES is to be deployed as part of the 
presentation layer interface. The resulting architectural framework 
the emerging IUTF is to work on is explored at: 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iucg-internet-plus-05.txt.

Please note that this I_D does not document how/where the 
presentation layer support is to occur. This because IMHO there may 
be several possible propositions. My working reference is the PLUS 
approach (Plugged Layers on the User side) that initially adds 2.5 
extended network layers on the user systems:

1. extended network applications
2. interapplications
3. exploratory support of the presentation layer at the ML-DNS level, 
with a multilayered vision of a digital name pile (ASCII, IDNA2008, 
UTF-8, etc.) with an occurrence per presentation format and CLASS.
