Well....I hope they will speak for themselves, but I think at this
point that what "the IDN people" want from the DNS people is some real
sense of what's possible, with roughly what tradeoffs. I think they
want any news we can give them, even if it's bad (and I'm not even
sure this is bad news).

We can go into this a little more (briefly) in the session Monday
afternoon-- Andrew and anyone else who was in the ICANN IDN meetings
in San Francisco can probably shed some light.
