Yes, indeed.

What I did not mention is that I also keep track of, to my best ability, comments on various unicode mailinglists, the main IETF mailing list and others where I feel Unicode and IDNA issues might come up. And also of course I collect comments sent to me directly. This as my responsibility as a liaison (etc).

Yes, this is ad-hoc, but as far as I know the best we can do at the moment.

Now when (if? ;-) ) we get this i18nrp group going it will make this ad-hoc process easier and a bit less ad-hoc, but trust me, I will not stop doing what I am already doing regarding this ad-hoc thing. It will just make my life easier (even though it might be more work) and definitely easier for others to track what I am doing as I will know exactly where to report things (and where to catch things).

So, even if it is ad-hoc, we should not ignore this, and I should have had it in my list.

And no, it does not replace anything you and/or Paul ask for, but at least >0.
