New idn-reg-policy Mailing List
posted by michael on Monday March 24 2003, @08:01PM

Noting that the relevant ICANN mailing list is closed, the Internet Mail Consortium announced that it has set up a new mailing list to discuss IDN registry policy, which it defines as matters other than IETF protocol issues such as registry-registrar interactions, and whois.

Here's the announcement:

Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2003 15:57:37 -0800
From: Paul Hoffman / IMC {phoffman@imc.org}
To: idn@ops.ietf.org
Subject: [idn] New mailing list for IDN registry policy

Greetings again. IMC has set up a new mailing list for discussing IDN registration policy. See {http://www.imc.org/idn-reg-policy/} for subscription information.

There are a few reasons for us setting up this new list:

- The IDN WG mailing list is for discussing IETF protocols, and IDN registration policy is not protocol-based

- The mailing list at ICANN is closed and is not discussed on the ICANN site

- The new list can be used to help give people background information before the IDNConnect event

Note that this new list is for discussing non-protocol issues with IDN registration; protocol-oriented discussions (such as how to handle registry-registrar interactions and whois) should happen on the appropriate IETF mailing lists.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

--Paul Hoffman, Director
--Internet Mail Consortium

There's also going to be an online archive, but it seems empty at the moment.

The archive was empty because the list hadn't started up. Now it has.

FWIW, IMC has a policy of keeping folks from posting to a newly-announced mailing list for a few days so that people who read the announcement a day or two "late" don't come into an already-happening discussion.
