A reasonable observation. The responsibility to ensure that the nuances of dependency were correctly noted in the past, or are correctly noted in the present, remain.

Loosely speaking, there is something that superficially resembles an obligation, but there has been no structural presence of a protocol supporting organization on the ICANN Board since December, 2002, only non-voting liaisons, and up until the recent moment, NOMCOM selected voting members with general technical competencies, now more weighted to competencies other than technical. So organic to ICANN's decision making process, no such general obligation exists or is latent. Organic to its By-Laws, there is an obligation to consider advice from the GAC, could you point to an obligation to consider advice from any other body? One could point to the "Standards" language in ICANN's various "Mission" documents and the IETF's "Standards Track" document series, but that does involve a significant passage of time, and timeliness appears to be relevant, and it is not clear that an enforceable contractual obligation arises from "mission" and "purpose" language. The UniCadettes' TR46 is a "IDNA2008 Considered Harmful" document, not that I think it the best thinking on the subject, and it is hardly a secret that directionality leakage across label separators is a feature not desired, and ... There are major objections, such as TR46, and moderate objections such as the directionality properties of "." and non-separator repertoire character properties, which vary from minor nits to moderate (fixable) objections, such as those which rfc4317 addressed. The IETF is about protocol, and all this > document is trying to do -- and it is explicit about this -- is to > relax (carefully) a restriction that may or may not have been > understood somewhere as a protocol restriction.

There's not that large a qualified labor pool there to author such a document, and there may be non-technical impediments to ordinary contributions as we know them, a property more generally true than I'd like -- I still recall one exit interview marked by reference to a I-D I'd written on parallelism, file systems, and name spaces. > ...

These are not relevant to the issues at hand. I think your final line falls under the heading "rhetorical excess" and is best ignored. Eric
