Omar:
I voted for the ALAC Statement to prioritize IDN rollout for cause. While
I'm not sure of the context for your grouse, I beg you consider these facts:

- The fastest growing segment of Internet users is in the Asia Pacific
region

- The greatest opportunity for connecting the next billion resides in the
Asia Pacific geographic region

- Most of the prospective users are literate in non-ASCII and non-latinized
scripts

- Most of them are Chinese and Indians, Indonesians, Citizens of the
'stans', Arabs and Malays. Throw in a relatively few Russians.

I would wish for them to enjoy the bounties of the Internet just as I would
all non-native English speakers, including Spanish or Portuguese speakers.
 On the balance of the evidence and even with my shameful single language
capability,  I would vote for more and prioritized IDNs again.

Best,
-Carlton
