 I'm not an AD for an area that's likely to be affected a huge amount by
i18n (for instance, TCP + i18n = something like TCP), but speaking as
something of an outsider,

- I couldn't agree more about trying a directorate because that's something
we haven't actually tried before, as best I can tell. I'm not sure I can
remember another suggestion that's been made, that we haven't already tried
at least once.

- I don't know that "the best idea" is the only idea that we should ever
try, but ISTM that if doing a directorate improves some things for i18n,
that is progress, and a future IESG could certainly try another idea to
improve things that the directorate hasn't improved - but again, doing a
directorate is a start.
