[NAH] There is an existing policy brief on IDNs at present ­ I¹d propose
that rather than revisit that document (which does cover these subjects to
some degree at least), we concentrate on new briefs. What do you think?

[NAH] I would imagine that this would get covered by default but I¹ll
certainly add this point in to make sure.

[NAH] I am not sure how a policy issue brief could be produced by the staff
on this subject as it seems to me that there are a broad range of answers
depending upon one¹s point of view, but I will have a word internally and
see what I hear and get back to you.

[NAH] Please feel free to send ideas on the subject whenever you have them
:)
